Schematic illustration of the spatially designed and functionally graded (FGM) periodontal membrane. (a) Membrane placed in a guided bone regeneration scenario and (b) details of the core-layer (CL) and the functional surface-layers (SL) interfacing bone (nano-hydroxyapatite, n-HAp) and epithelial (metronidazole, MET) tissues. Note the chemical composition step-wise grading from the CL to SLs, i.e., polymer content decreased, and protein content increased. (c) Cross-section SEM micrographs of the FGM processed via multilayering electrospinning. Adapted from.42
