Fabrication of Bio-nanocomposite Nanofibers Mimicking the Mineralized Hard Tissues via Electrospinning Process

Fabrication of Biodegradable PCL Particles as well as PA66 Nanofibers via Air-Sealed Centrifuge Electrospinning (ASCES)

This study presents a method for fabrication of ultrafine polymeric nanofibers as well as nano/micro particles utilizing centrifugal and electrostatic forces simultaneously. To reduce the diameter and variety of nanofibers produced from solid state polymerized PA66, a unique electrocentrifuge spinning device was utilized with a rotating nozzle and collector, while the fabrication process (spinn...

Fabrication of Polyvinyl Alcohol/Kefiran Nanofibers Membrane Using Electrospinning

The Poly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefirane nanofiber membrane was successfully fabricated for the firsttime using electrospinning of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and Kefirane blend solution. Scanningelectron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATRFT-IR), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to characterize the electrospunPoly (vinyl alcohol)/Kefiran...

Bio-inspired Nanocomposite Fibrous Scaffolds for Hard Tissue Regenerative Medicine

Taesik Chae, Heejae Yang, Frank Ko, Tom Troczynski. Materials Engineering Department, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Statement of Purpose: Aging of population increases the need for human organ/tissue repairs. Autografts supply, however, has limitation, and allografts may cause the risk of disease transmission and anti-immunization response. One of the alternatives...
