| Summary: | Title screen Fibrous scaffolds based on biodegradable piezoelectric poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) polymers were fabricated via electrospinning. Hydrothermal deposition of zinc oxide (ZnO) on the surfaces of fibrous PHB scaffolds resulted in a homogeneous ZnO layer that grew conformally on the porous polymeric scaffold. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirmed the formation of a hexagonal wurtzite crystal structure of ZnO on the PHB fibres. XRD patterns, TEM and EDS analysis revealed a bimodal morphology with rod-like nanostructures that grew preferentially along the c-axis as well as nanoparticles that grew randomly. The piezoelectric charge coefficient d33 for pristine PHB scaffolds was 2.9?±?0.1?pC·N-1, whereas after ZnO deposition, it substantially increased to 13.7?±?1.6?pC·N-1. Moreover, the output surface electrical potential of PHB scaffolds after ZnO deposition also substantially increased from 0.58?±?0.02 to 0.88?±?0.04?V, showing enhanced electromechanical coupling in the piezoelectric nanocomposites. The output surface electric potential for ZnO-coated PHB scaffolds was stable within 1200 loading cycles. In addition, the ZnO rod-like nanostructured surface improved the wettability of PHB fibrous scaffolds, demonstrating synergy between the ceramic and polymeric phases in PHB/ZnO composites. Therefore, the hybrid biodegradable piezoelectric scaffolds reported in the present study are potentially useful for biomedical applications, where both improved piezoelectric response and surface wettability are required.
