Herein, electrospun zinc oxide nanoparticle/poly (vinylidene fluoride) (ZnONP/PVDF) composite fiber membranes were designed, fabricated, and tested for improved orthopedic applications. A single factor screening study was conducted to determine the optimal ZnONP/PVDF formulation based on osteoblast...
