Hierarchical materials that exhibit order over multiple length scales are ubiquitous in nature.
Because hierarchy gives rise to unique properties and functions, many have sought …

Over the last decade, melt electrospinning has emerged as an alternative polymer
processing technology to alleviate concerns associated with solvents in traditional …

Self-assembled peptide nanostructures have been increasingly exploited as functional
materials for applications in biomedicine and energy. The emergent properties of these …

Electrospun nanofibers are extensively studied and their potential applications are largely
demonstrated. Today, electrospinning equipment and technological solutions, and …

Extracellular matrix fibers (ECM) such as collagen, elastin, and keratin provide biological
and physical support for cell attachment, proliferation, migration, differentiation and …

Tissue-engineering scaffolds should be analogous to native extracellular matrix (ECM) in
terms of both chemical composition and physical structure. Polymeric nanofiber matrix is …

The design and synthesis of protein-like polymers is a fundamental challenge in materials
science. A biomimetic approach is to explore the impact of monomer sequence on non …

Ceramic nanofibers (NFs) have recently been developed for advanced applications due to
their unique properties. In this article, we review developments in electrospun ceramic NFs …

This article explores recent advances in the design and engineering of materials wholly or
principally constructed from peptides. We focus on materials that are able to respond to …

The regenerative capacity of the peripheral nervous system is closely related to the role that
Schwann cells (SCs) play in construction of the basement membrane containing multiple …
