The production of chitosan nanofiber mats by electrospinning presents serious difficulties due to the lack
of suitable solvents and the strong influence of processing parameters on the fiber properties. Two are
the main ...

[EN] Elastin isolated from fresh bovine ligaments was dissolved in a mixture of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol and water were electrospun into fiber membranes under different processing conditions. Fiber mats of randomly ...
Cell supports based on electroactive materials, that generate electrical signal variations as a response to mechanical deformations and vice-versa, are gaining increasing attention for tissue engineering applications. In ...
Electroactive beta-poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membranes were obtained by isothermal crystallization from the solution. Different morphologies and microstructures were obtained by crystallizing at different temperatures. ...
[EN] Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) electrospun membranes were obtained by electrospinning and
characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal analysis. The polymer
membranes showed a random fiber distribution ...
