Polyurethane nanofibers with different concentration of CaCl2 were electrospun and their bioactivity evaluation was conducted by incubating in biomimetic simulated body fluid SBF solution. The morphology structure and thermal properties of the polyurethane CaCl2 composite nanofibers were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy SEM field-emission scanning electron microscopy energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy X-ray diffraction Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetry. SEM images revealed that the CaCl2 salt incorporated homogeneously to form well-oriented nanofibers with smooth surface and uniform diameters along their lengths. The SBF incubation test confirmed the formation of apatite-like materials exhibiting enhanced bioactive behavior of the polyurethane CaCl2 composite nanofibers. This study demonstrated that the electrospun polyurethane containing CaCl2 composite nanofibers enhanced the in vitro bioactivity and supports the growth of apatite-like materials. Introduction Electrospinning of biologically significant polymers has increased dramatically since the electrospun membranes were identified as a candidate for guided tissue regeneration applications 1-4 . In particular polyurethane is a thermoplastic biodegradable biocompatible polymer with excellent mechanical and physical properties 5 6 . Due to these merits polyurethane nanofibers have been found to be a very promising material of interest. It has been already reported that the .
