Melt electrospinning writing is a new and promising method for fabricating micro/nanofibers, which has shown great prospects in the biomedical fields such as 3D printing of porous scaffolds. The diameter of the melt electrospinning writing fiber can...
Melt electrospinning writing has been emerged as a promising technique in the field of tissue engineering, with the capability of fabricating controllable and highly ordered complex three-dimensional geometries from a wide range of polymers. This thr...
In this paper, near-field direct-writing melt electrospinning technology was employed to fabricate a polycaprolactone/nano-hydroxyapatite (PCL/nHA) scaffold for future applications in tissue engineering. The influences of different fabrication parame...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffold is a common biological material for tissue engineering, owing to its good biocompatibility, biodegradability and plasticity. However, it is not suitable for osteoblast adhesion and regeneration of bone tissue due to it...
Near-field electrospinning (NFES) and melt electrowriting (MEW) are the process of extruding a fiber due to the force exerted by an electric field and collecting the fiber before bending instabilities occur. When paired with precise relative motion b...
Background/Objectives: A stem cell therapy for type 1 diabetes (T1D) is experimentally available but only to those few humans in whom the use of systemic immunosuppression can be justified. For others with T1D, a means to deliver the islets needs to...
In recent years, pelvic organ prolapse (POP) cases have been rising, affecting women’s quality of life. Synthetic surgical transvaginal meshes used for POP treatment were withdrawn from the United States market in 2019 due to high risks, includ...
In the current study, a novel approach in terms of the incorporation of self-healing agent (SHA) into unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) has been demonstrated. More precisely, Diels–Alder (DA) mechanism-based resin (Bi...
Melt electrowriting is a relatively new additive manufacturing technique capable of the controlled deposition of polymeric fibers to manufacture pre-programmed structures at micron scale. In this research, a blend of poly (ε-caprolactone) and...
In the current study, the interlaminar fracture toughness behavior of high-performance carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRPs) modified with Bis-maleimide (BMI) resin was investigated under Mode II quasi-static and fatigue remote loading conditions....
This study used melt-electrospinning writing to fabricate three-dimensional fiber constructs by embedding them in a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix to obtain thin composite films. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and dynamic scanning cal...
Electrospinning of polymer material has gained a lot of interest in the past decades. Various methods of electrospinning have been applied for different applications, from needle electrospinning to needleless electrospinning. A relatively new variati...
Bone tissue engineering is an alternative therapeutic intervention to repair or regenerate lost bone. This technique requires three essential components: stem cells that can differentiate into bone cells, growth factors that stimulate cell behavior f...
Polycaprolactone (PCL) fiber mats with defined pore architecture were shown to provide sufficient support for a premixed calcium phosphate cement (CPC) paste to serve as a flat and flexible composite material for the potential application in 2-dimens...
New additive manufacturing techniques, such as melting electro-writing (MEW) or near-field electrospinning (NFES), are now used to include microfibers inside 3D printed scaffolds as FDM printers present a limited resolution in the XY axis, not making...
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a prominent additive manufacturing technique known for its ability to provide cost-effective and fast printing solutions. FDM enables the production of computer-aided 3D designs as solid objects at macro scales with...
In tissue engineering, the relationship between a biomaterial surface and the host’s immune response during wound healing is crucial for tissue regeneration. Despite hemoderivative functionalization of biomaterials becoming a common tissue-engi...
Metal halide perovskite quantum dots (PQDs) are widely used in the display field due to their excellent photoelectric properties, such as ultra-narrow half-peak widths and ultra-pure luminescence color purity. Inkjet printing, laser direct writing an...
