The control of nanofiber orientation in nanofibrous tubular scaffolds can benefit the cell
responses along specific directions. For small diameter tubular scaffolds, however, it …

Harvesting energy from ambient mechanical sources in our environment has attracted
considerable interest due to its potential to power applications such as ubiquitous wireless …

The development of vascular grafts has focused on finding a biomaterial that is non-
thrombogenic, minimizes intimal hyperplasia, matches the mechanical properties of native …

Polylactide (PLA) has been melt spun to produce multifilament continuous yarns. The
thermal characteristics of PLA filaments have been investigated using modulated differential …

The interaction between resident cells and electrospun nanofibers is critical in determining
resultant osteoblast proliferation and activity in orthopedic tissue scaffolds. The use of …

A degradation study investigating the hydrolysis of different scaffolds of polycaprolactone
suspended in phosphate buffer solution at 37° C was performed over a three month period …

In this study poly (lactic acid)(PLA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) micro-and nanofiber mats
loaded with Copaiba (Copaifera sp.) oil were produced by solution blow spinning (SBS) …

Electrospinning has attracted tremendous interest in the research community as a simple
and versatile technique to produce synthetic polymeric ultrafine fibres with diameters …

The electrospinning of stereocomplex nanofibers of high-molecular-weight poly (l-lactic
acid)(PLLA)/poly (d-lactic acid)(PDLA)(PLLA/PDLA= 1: 1) was carried out with chloroform as …

We have developed a nanocomposite using a silica nanocomposite polyhedral oligomeric
silsesquioxane (POSS) and poly (carbonate− urea) urethane (PCU) for potential use in …
