    The study highlights the properties of nanofibers obtained from collagen and polyethylene terephthalate solution, cross-linked with riboflavin by in situ UV irradiation. The nanofiber morphology was characterized by Static Contact Angle Measurements and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Mechanical characterization and Fourier Transform Infrared Attenuated Total Reflectance (FTIR-ATR) spectroscopy indicated different specific structures. The preliminary cell growth tests were also performed and the cell morphology was observed. Our results suggest that these materials could be used in various biomedical applications.
