The goal of this study was to synthesize skin substitutes that blend native extracellular matrix (ECM) molecules with synthetic polymers which have favorable mechanical properties. To this end, scaffolds were electrospun from collagen I (col) and poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL), and then pores were introduced mechanically to promote fibroblast infiltration, and subsequent filling of the pores with ECM. A 70: 30 col/PCL ratio was determined to provide optimal support for dermal fibroblast growth, and a pore diameter, 160 mm, was identified that enabled fibroblasts to infiltrate and fill pores with native matrix molecules, including fibronectin and collagen I. Mechanical testing of 70: 30 col/PCL scaffolds with 160 mm pores revealed a tensile strength of 1.4 MPa, and the scaffolds also exhibited a low rate of contraction (
