Abstract

Pioneer works on nanocomposites were focused in carbon nanofibers or nanotubes

dispersed in epoxy matrix, a viscous liquid facilitating the compounding stage. The interest in

developing new composites aimed for biomedical applications led us to design new

nanocomposites based in biodegradable polymers with demonstrated biological performance.

We report herein the development of micro-nano composites by extruding poly(butylene

succinate) (PBS) microfibers with two different diameters, 200 and 500
