Natural polymers such as collagens, elastin, and fibrinogen make up much of the body's
native extracellular matrix (ECM). This ECM provides structure and mechanical integrity to …

Electrospinning is a process that creates nanofibers through an electrically charged jet of
polymer solution or melt. This technique is applicable to virtually every soluble or fusible …

Electrospinning is a fabrication technique, which can be used to create nanofibrous non‐
wovens from a variety of starting materials. The structure, chemical and mechanical stability …

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

Silks are protein-based fibers made by arthropods for a variety of task-specific applications.
In this article, we review the key features of silk proteins. This article initially focuses on the …

We studied the effect of electrospinning parameters on the morphology and fiber diameter of
regenerated silk from Bombyx mori. Effects of electric field and tip-to-collection plate …

Tissue engineering scaffolds produced by electrospinning feature a structural similarity to
the natural extracellular matrix. Polymer blending is one of the effective methods to provide …
