The paper presents results of experiments on formation of nonwoven fabrics from PLA biopolymer. Fibrous structures with parameters advantageous for application as a scaffold for tissue engineering were prepared from polylactide by melt-blown technology. Process optimization enables to obtain ultra-fine fibers. Sizes of pores formed in the material during melt-blown process can be tailored by formation of fibers of defined diameters.
