Abstract: 59SiO2–36CaO–5P2O5 (mol%) as58Sbioactiveglassnanotubesweresuccessfullypreparedusingacoaxial
electrospinning process,loadedwithIbuprofen(IBU),andcharacterizedforin-vitrodrugreleaseprop-
erties. Polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP)wasexploitedtomanipulatetheprecursorsolutionsviscosity.The
influence ofPVPconcentrationon fiber formationanditsmorphologywereinvestigated.Theacceptable
formation wasachievedeventuallybydissolving8gPVPin10mlethanol.Bioactiveglassnanotubes
werecharacterizedby field emissionscanningelectronmicroscopy(FE-SEM),X-raypowderdiffraction
(XRD), simultaneousthermalanalysis(STA-TG/DTA),nitrogensorptionporosimetry(BET),Fourier
transform infraredspectroscopy(FT-IR),thermogravimetricanalysis(TGA),ultraviolet-visibleabsorption
spectroscopy(UV–vis), andenergydispersivespectroscopyanalysis(EDS).Accordingly,FT-IRandTG
analysesindicatedthesynthesisofbioactiveglassnanotubeshasasatisfactoryabilitytostoreIBUdueto

of drug-loadedglassnanotubeswerebasedonKorsmeyer-PeppasmodelandFickiandiffusionrelease
mechanism. Thesurfaceof58Sglassnanotubeswasfullycrystallized,mostlybyhydroxylapatitephase
