The design of a biomimetic scaffold is a major challenge in tissue engineering to promote tissue reconstruction. The use of synthetic polymer nanofibers is widely described as they provide biocompatible matrices whose topography mimics natural extracellular matrix (ECM). To closely match the biochemical composition of the ECM, bioactive molecules such as gelatin are added to the nanofibers to enhance cell adhesion and proliferation. To overcome the rapid solubilization of gelatin in biological fluids and to allow a lasting biological effect, the covalent crosslinking of this macromolecule in the network is crucial. The sol-gel route offers the possibility of gentle crosslinking during shaping but is rarely combined with electrospinning. In this study, we present the creation of Poly(lactic acid)/Gelatin hybrid nanofibers by sol-gel route during electrospinning. To enable sol-gel crosslinking, we synthesized star-shaped PLA and functionalized it with silane groups; then we functionalized gelatin with the same groups for their subsequent reaction with the polymer and thus the creation of the hybrid nanonetwork. We evaluated the impact of the presence of gelatin in Poly(lactic acid)/Gelatin hybrid nanofibers at different percentages on the mechanical properties, nanonetwork crosslinking, degradation and biological properties of the hybrid nanofibers. The addition of gelatin modulated nanonetwork crosslinking that impacted the stiffness of the nanofibers, resulting in softer materials for the cells. Moreover, these hybrid nanofibers also showed a significant improvement in fibroblast proliferation and present a degradation rate suitable for tissue reconstruction. Finally, the bioactive hybrid nanofibers possess versatile properties, interesting for various potential applications in tissue reconstruction.
