Surface Modification of Melt Extruded Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanofibers: Toward a New Scalable Biomaterial Scaffold
A photochemical modification of melt-extruded polymeric nanofibers is described. A bioorthogonal functional group is used to decorate fibers made exclusively from commodity polymers, covalently attach fluorophores and peptides, and direct cell growth. Our process begins by using a layered coextrusion method, where poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers are incorporated within a macroscopic poly(...
متن کاملFabrication of Nerve Growth Factor Encapsulated Aligned Poly(-Caprolactone) Nanofibers and Their Assessment as a Potential Neural Tissue Engineering Scaffold
Peripheral nerve injury is a serious clinical problem to be solved. There has been no breakthrough so far and neural tissue engineering offers a promising approach to promote the regeneration of peripheral neural injuries. In this study, emulsion electrospinning technique was introduced as a flexible and promising technique for the fabrication of random (R) and aligned (A) Poly(ε-caprolactone) ...
متن کامل3D Microtomographic Characterization of Precision Extruded Poly- -caprolactone Scaffolds
One of the dominant approaches to tissue engineering is the seeding of biodegradable, biocompatible polymer scaffolds with progenitor cells prior to 3D culture or implantation. The microarchitecture of these scaffolds has direct effects upon the ability of cells to attach, migrate, and differentiate. Microtomographic (micro-CT) scanners enable high-speed 3D characterization of the salient featu...
متن کاملMacroporous Keratin Scaffold – a Novel Biomaterial for Biomedical Applications
Tissue engineering has recommended the development of biomaterials for implantable porous scaffolds at the injured site, which temporarily acted as the supporting materials for ingrowths of the cells and degraded along with extra cellular matrix production, vascularization and tissue regeneration. Usually, three dimensional scaffolds play the most important role in the design of Tissue Engineer...
متن کاملReinforcing Poly(ε-caprolactone) Nanofibers with Cellulose Nanocrystals
We studied the use of cellulose nanocrystals (CNXs) obtained after acid hydrolysis of ramie cellulose fibers to reinforce poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) nanofibers. Chemical grafting with low-molecular-weight PCL diol onto the CNXs was carried out in an attempt to improve the interfacial adhesion with the fiber matrix. Grafting was confirmed via infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analyses....
