Hybrid fibres: a new path in tissue regeneration by Johana Kulhánková, Christopher J. Hobbs, Barbora Nikendey Holubová, Jakub Erben, Miroslava Rysová, Jana Musílková, Lucie Svobodová, Nataliya Romanyuk, Veronika Máková

“…This paper suggests a synthesis of two biomedically promising monomeric organosilane precursors, N,N´-bis(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)terephthalamide (BTT) and N,N´-bis(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)pyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (BTP), which are submitted to a sol-gel process combined with subsequent electrospinning technology. Such a unique procedure not only allows the preparation of toxic-free organosilane fibrous mats by suitable adjustment of sol-gel and electrospinning parameters but also simplifies material production via a one-pot synthesis approach further tuneable with appropriate organosilane precursors. …”
