This invention describes methods for the creation of 3D biologically inspired tissue engineered scaffolds with both excellent interfacial mechanical properties, and biocompatibility and products created using such methods. In some cases, a combination of nanomaterials, nano/microfabrication methods and 3D printing can be employed to create structures that promote tissue reconstruction and/or production. In other embodiments, electrospinning techniques can be used to create structures made of polymers and nanotubes.
