Abstract:

Electrospinning has been recognized as an efficient technique for the fabrication of polymernanofibers. Recently, various polymers have successfully been electrospun into ultrafine fibers.Electrospinning is an extremely promising method for the preparation of tissue engineering scaffolds.In this study, nanofibers gelatin was electrospun at 20% v/v optimized content. To produce gelatinnanofibers optimally, production parameters need to be investigated. In the electrospinning, device(voltage and distance) parameters were determined to be effective; as a result, these parameterswere researched and the influences of electrospinning device parameters (voltage & distance)on properties of gelatin nanofibers were evaluated. These parameters affected the diametersize, uniformity, hydrophilicity and thermal degradation of electrospun gelatin nanofibers. All ofthese properties were examined by SEM, FTIR, CA, BET, XRAY and TGA tests and finally optimumgelatin nanofibers can be used in many applications including cell culture, drug delivery and tissueengineering.

Electrospinning Auricular Shaped Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering.

Poly(ɛ)caprolactone scaffolds have been electrospun directly into an auricular shaped conductive mould. Bovine chondrocytes were harvested from articular cartilage and seeded onto 16 of the produced scaffolds, which received either an ethanol (group A) or a plasma treatment (group B) for sterilisation before seeding. The seeded scaffolds were cultured for 3 weeks in vitro and analysed with rega...

Genipin crosslinked gelatin nanofibers for tissue engineering.

summary The objective of this study was to enhance the mechanical and thermo-mechanical properties of electrospun gelatin nanofibers, while maintaining their good bioactivity. In this work, genipin was used as crosslinker to achieve this goal. Electrospun gelatin nanofibers were crosslinked with genipin vapor at room temperature for 0 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The morphologies of the c...

Cross-linking of gelatin and chitosan complex nanofibers for tissue-engineering scaffolds.

The aim of this study is to investigate cross-linked gelatin-chitosan nanofibers produced by means of electrospinning. Gelatin and chitosan nanofibers were electrospun and then cross-linked by glutaraldehyde (GTA) vapor at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images showed that the cross-linked mats could keep their nanofibrous structure after being soaked in deionized water at ...

Fabrication of Porous Hydroxyapatite-Gelatin Scaffolds Crosslinked by Glutaraldehyde for Bone Tissue Engineering

In this study, to mimic the mineral and organic components of natural bone, hydroxyapatite[HA] and gelatin[GEL] composite scaffolds were prepared using the solvent-casting method combined with a freeze drying process. Glutaraldehyde[GA] was used as a cross linking agent and sodium bisulfite was used as an excess GA discharger. Using this technique, it is possible to produce scaffolds with mecha...
