Comparison between Electrospun and Bubbfil-spun Polyether Sulfone Fibers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrospinning is a simple method for producing ultrafine fibers, and has attracted much recent interest. The classical approach was either polymer solutions or polymer melts. Bubbfil spinning (e.g. bubble-electrospinning) is a facile method to fabricate nanofibers with high surface area to volume ratio and high porosity. Polyether sulfone (PES) dissolved in N,N-Dimethylacetamide (DMAC) was used in this study to compare fiber morphologies of two technologies at the same spinning conditions. Effects of solution concentration, applied voltage and tip-to-collector distance on the morphology of the fibers were experimentally studied. It revealed that the Bubbfil spinning process is a better candidate for mass-production of nanofiber with controllable morphology.

Optimization of Glutaraldehyde Vapor Treatment for Electrospun Collagen/Silk Tissue Engineering Scaffolds
Freestanding fibrous matrices with proper protein composition and desirable mechanical properties, stability, and biocompatibility are in high demand for tissue engineering. Electrospun (E-spun) collagen-silk composite fibers are promising tissue engineering scaffolds. However, as-spun fibers are mechanically weak and unstable. In this work, we applied glutaraldehyde (GA) vapor treatment to imp...

Electrospun mullite fibers from the sol–gel precursor
Mullite fibers with diameters from 400 nm to 10 lm were fabricated from the sol–gel precursors using the electrospinning method. During the precursor synthesis, the hydrolysis was controlled to obtain highly viscous mullite sols. The viscous mullite sols were then diluted and mixed with a small amount of polyethylene oxide. Controlling the precursor rheology and spinning conditions, we obtained...

Electrospinning is a technique for producing micro- to nano-scale fibers. Fibers can be electrospun with varying degrees of alignment, from highly aligned to completely random. In addition, fibers can be spun from a variety of materials, including biodegradable polymers such as poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA). These characteristics make electrospun fibers suitable for a variety of scaffolding applica...
