In this paper, the dynamics of synthesis and characterization of composite nanofibers of PVDF polymer-gold laser ablated nanoparticles have been investigated. For this purpose, at first the colloidal solution of Au nanoparticles in acetone media was prepared. Then the 30% PVDF polymer was dissolved in Au nanoparticles colloidal solution and composite nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning method.  The colloidal solution of Au nanoparticle, PVDF polymeric solution and PVDF-Au NPs composite solution have been characterized by UV-Visible spectroscopy. The morphology of the composite nanofibers was also performed with a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy and the crystalline phases of composite nanofibers were analyzed by X-Ray Diffractometer and Fourier Transform Infrared methods. The obtained composite nanofibers demonstrated the piezoelectricity which makes them suitable for use as a tissue engineering scaffold
