The intrinsic viscosity of a sample of GR–S has been measured, at temperatures ranging from 0° to 65 °C., in several solvents made progressively 'poorer' (to the point of precipitation) by the addition of nonsolvent. The results afford strong evidence in support of the theory (Flory; Alfrey, Bartovics, and Mark) that intrinsic viscosity is very sensitive to the shape assumed by a flexible long-chain molecule in solution and that this shape varies with the nature of the solvent and with the temperature. Measurements with various systems of the type GR–S–solvent–nonsolvent indicate that the intrinsic viscosity at the precipitation point is the same with different nonsolvents and, to a first approximation, with different solvents. This intrinsic viscosity is, moreover, independent of temperature.

The morphology and microstructures of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) nanofibers produced by bubble-electrospinning are investigated experimentally. It is shown that the temperature predominantly affect the average diameters of the formed nanofibers. The smooth surface and controllable diameters of nanofibers are essential for their applications in different temperature environment.

The treatment of osteochondral defects remains a challenge. Four scaffolds were produced using Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved polymers to investigate their therapeutic potential for the regeneration of the osteochondral unit. Polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(vinyl-pyrrolidone) (PVP) scaffolds were made by electrohydrodynamic techniques. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and/or sodium hyaluronate (HA) can be then loaded to PCL nanofibers and/or PVP particles. The purpose of adding hydroxyapatite and sodium hyaluronate into PCL/PVP scaffolds is to increase the regenerative ability for subchondral bone and joint cartilage, respectively. Human bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hBM-MSCs) were seeded on these biomaterials. The biocompatibility of these biomaterials in vitro and in vivo, as well as their potential to support MSC differentiation under specific chondrogenic or osteogenic conditions, were evaluated. We show here that hBM-MSCs could proliferate and differentiate both in vitro and in vivo on these biomaterials. In addition, the PCL-HAp could effectively increase the mineralization and induce the differentiation of MSCs into osteoblasts in an osteogenic condition. These results indicate that PCL-HAp biomaterials combined with MSCs could be a beneficial candidate for subchondral bone regeneration.
