Abstract:
A polymer nanofiber scaffold includes a plurality of melt extruded nanofibers that are chemically modified to append surface functionality to the nanofibers.

Claim (Index 36):
A method of forming a surface functionalized polymer nanofiber scaffold, the method comprising:\n providing a plurality of melt extruded polymer nanofibers, the nanofibers each having a rectangular cross-section defined in part by an encapsulating polymer material that is separated from the nanofibers, and chemically bonding a plurality of click-reactive functional groups of a specific binding pair to the fibers without degrading polymer chains of the nanofibers, the click-reactive functional groups extending from portions of outer surfaces of the nanofibers; wherein the surface area of the nanofiber is greater than 40.0 cm 2 /mg of fiber.
