Unique Fiber Morphologies from Emulsion Electrospinning—A Case Study of Poly(?-caprolactone) and Its Applications

The importance of electrospinning to produce biomimicking micro- and nano-fibrous matrices is realized by many who work in the area fibers. Based on solubility materials be spun, organic solvents are typically utilized. toxicity utilized solvent could extremely important for various applications, including tissue engineering, biomedical, agricultural, etc. In addition, high viscosities such polymer solutions limit use concentrations lower down productivity along with limitations obtaining desired fiber morphology. This emphasizes need a method that would allay worries about safety, toxicity, environmental issues using concentrated solutions. To mitigate these issues, emulsions as precursors has recently gained significant attention. Presence dispersed continuous phase emulsion provides an easy route incorporate sensitive bioactive functional moieties within core-sheath fibers which otherwise only hardly achieved cumbersome coaxial process solution or melt based approaches. review presents detailed understanding behavior during role constituents parameters formation. Though polymers have been studied electrospinning, poly(?-caprolactone) (PCL) one most this technique. Therefore, PCL highlighted unique case-study, provide theoretical understanding, discussion experimental results their suitable biomedical applications.
