Aligned electrospun ZnO nanofibers for simple and sensitive ultraviolet nanosensors.
The current of uni-axially aligned electrospun ZnO nanofibers is modulated reversibly under UV irradiation, with the sensitivity of the UV nanosensors depending on the surface coating of the nanofibers, due to the effect on the photo-generated current.
متن کاملElectrospun tubular scaffold with circumferentially aligned nanofibers for regulating smooth muscle cell growth.
Simulation for the smooth muscle layer of blood vessel plays a key role in tubular tissue engineering. However, fabrication of biocompatible tube with defined inner nano/micro-structure remains a challenge. Here, we show that a biocompatible polymer tube from poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) can be prepared by using electrospinning technique, with assistance of rotating co...
متن کاملComparison of cell behavior on pva/pva-gelatin electrospun nanofibers with random and aligned configuration
Electrospinning technique is able to create nanofibers with specific orientation. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have good mechanical stability but poor cell adhesion property due to the low affinity of protein. In this paper, extracellular matrix, gelatin is incorporated into PVA solution to form electrospun PVA-gelatin nanofibers membrane. Both randomly oriented and aligned nanofibers are used to ...
متن کاملElectrospun 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...
متن کاملRadially aligned, electrospun nanofibers as dural substitutes for wound closure and tissue regeneration applications.
This paper reports the fabrication of scaffolds consisting of radially aligned poly(ε-caprolactone) nanofibers by utilizing a collector composed of a central point electrode and a peripheral ring electrode. This novel class of scaffolds was able to present nanoscale topographic cues to cultured cells, directing and enhancing their migration from the periphery to the center. We also established ...
