Abstract Suture retention strength (SRS) is commonly used as a measure the ability of sutures to adhere implants surrounding tissue. While SRS widely employed, surprisingly its effects on graft microstructure have not been characterized. This particularly germane broad utilization electrospun in tissue engineering. These need retain their initial nanoscale topography while simultaneously preserving clinically critical mechanical properties. We examined suture‐driven microstructural...

We applied a recently developed method, laser metrology, to characterize the influence of collector rotation on porosity gradients electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) widely investigated for use in tissue engineering. The prior- and post-sintering dimensions PCL scaffolds were compared derive quantitative, spatially-resolved ‘maps’ from net shrinkage. Deposited rotating mandrel (200 RPM), central region deposition reaches highest porosity, ~92%, surrounded by approximately symmetrical...

ABSTRACT Electrospinning has the inherent advantage of being able to achieve molecular mixing polymers having substantially different melting points. Electrospun poly(ɛ‐caprolactone)–poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PCL:PET) capsules are densified by sintering enable drug encapsulation. Proton and diffusive nuclear magnetic resonance, as well a selective dissolution, suggest an absence reaction between two polymers. Sintering at 100 °C successfully densifies 88.89:11.11 75:25 PCL:PET blends....

Abstract Monitoring oxygenation in vivo is critical to ensuring human health, particularly the context of ‘silent’ hypoxia. Utilizing blends biodegradable polycaprolactone (PCL) and gelatine, we sought develop an electrospun oxygen sensor that maintains advantages robust, phosphorescent oxygen‐sensing chromophores while providing resorbable polymeric scaffolds benefiting from tailorable degradation times ranging hours weeks. Electrospun sensors successfully provide accurate measurements for...

In this work, a manganese oxide electrode, containing carbon nanofiber composites (MnO2/CNF), has been made through electrospinning, oxidization, and partial carbonization high-temperature treatment. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the morphology of analyze composition fiber. The fiber size range element distribution were determined. nanoparticles modeled as electrorheological suspensions in polyacrylonitrile polymer solution during electrospinning. dielectrophoretic...
