The article studies the effect of cool rolling on the morphology of nonwoven fibrous materials based on poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) with a model drug dipyridamole (DPD). Fibrous materials were obtained by electrospinning 7 % PHB-DPD solutions in chloroform. The concentration of DPD was varied in the range of 1 – 5 wt. %. Cold rolling of nonwoven fibrous materials was carried out using frictionless microrollers at room temperature and pressures of 5 and 10 MPa. It is shown that during cool rolling of nonwoven fibrous materials, the structure is compacted and the free interfiber volume decreases at the first stage, and with an increase in the degree of rolling, the free interfiber space practically disappears, the fibers are tightly adjacent to each other with the transition of their geometric shape from cylindrical to flat under the action of compressive stresses. In this case, the supramolecular structure of the fibers changes. Cold rolling stimulates the process of additional crystallization due to ruptures of overstressed sections of macromolecules in the nodes of mechanical engagements and interlacing of macromolecules in fibers. It was found that as a result of rolling (especially at high degrees), the rates of release of DPD from fibers are equalized, regardless of the initial concentration. Moreover, the higher the concentration of DPD, the less the stationary diffusion coefficient depends on the degree of rolling. The study showed the possibility of creating denser matrices of work is possible without significant loss of their diffusion-transport properties.
