Abstract. The aim of this study is to evaluate the e ects of Multi-Walled Carbon NanoTubes (MWNTs) on the structural and mechanical properties of poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (P3HB) electrospun sca olds. To achieve optimal properties of the electrospinning machine, P3HB polymer solutions were prepared at di erent concentrations and spinned in di erent electrospinning parameters. After optimization, MWNTs in di erent weight percentages (0.5%, 0.75%, 1%, and 1.25%) were added to the polymer solutions and electrospinned. The e ects of MWNTs on the structure of bers were investigated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The addition of MWNTs increased the average ber diameter from 210 (neat P3HB) to 700 nm at 1.25% MWNTs. In addition, SEM photomicrographs and the MATLAB software program showed an increase in porosity from 81% to 84% in the presence of MWNTs. Tensile strength of P3HB/MWNTs composites revealed 158% improvement over pure P3HB sca old. According to mechanical and structural properties, the best amount of MWNTs was 0.5 wt%. Therefore, MWNTs with low percentages can signi cantly improve the mechanical properties of pure P3HB sca old, so that they can become favorable mechanically for tissue engineering applications.
