Electrospun PLLA Membranes for Caffeine Delivery: Diffusional Approach

Electrospun polymeric nanofibers for transdermal drug delivery

Conventional transdermal drug delivery systems (TDDS) have been designed for drug delivery through the skin. These systems use the permeability property of stratum corneum, the outermost surface layer of the skin. Applying polymeric micro and nanofibers in drug delivery has recently attracted great attention and the electrospinning technique is the preferred method for polymeric micro-nanofiber...

Electrospun membranes: Next generation membranes for desalination and water/wastewater treatment

Phospholipid nonwoven electrospun membranes.

Nonwoven fibrous membranes were formed from electrospinning lecithin solutions in a single processing step. As the concentration of lecithin increased, the micellar morphology evolved from spherical to cylindrical, and at higher concentrations the cylindrical micelles overlapped and entangled in a fashion similar to polymers in semi-dilute or concentrated solutions. At concentrations above the ...

Frabrication and Characertization of Electrospun Plla/gelatin Braided Saffolds

INTRODUCTION Rotator cuff tears affect 40% of people upwards of the age of 60, which raises the importance of the orthopedic treatment. However, even with surgical apposition the poor innate healing properties of these tissues result with high re-tear rates [1]. 20%-70% of rotator cuff repairs fail within 6-12 weeks after the operation, where the failure commonly occurs at the suturetendon inte...

A review on electrospun nanofibers for oral drug delivery

Nowadays, polymer nanofibers have gained attention due to remarkable characteristics such as high porosity and large surface area to volume ratio. Among their fabrication methods, electrospinning technique has been attracted as a simple and reproducible approach. It is a versatile, simple and cost-effective technique for the production of continuous nanofibers with acceptable characteristics su...
