## Abstract Blends of poly(L‐lactide) (PLA), containing from 5, 15, or 25 wt % potato starch, unmodified or hydrophobized in methane plasma, were prepared and studied. To enhance the drawability of the blends, the plasticization of PLA with 10 wt % poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) was also employed. Th
## Abstract **Summary:** The aim of this work is the production of fibers from biodegradable polymers to obtain 3D scaffolds for tissue engineering of hard tissues. The scaffolds required for this highly demanding application need to have, as well as the biological and mechanical characteristics, a
