Controlling Mechanical Properties of Medical-Grade Scaffolds through Electrospinning Parameter Selection.

ABSTRACT: Electrospinning (ES) is a versatile process mode for creating fibrous materials with various structures that have broad applications ranging from regenerative medicine to tissue engineering and surgical mesh implants. The recent commercialization of this technology for implant use has driven the use of resorbable electrospun products. Resorbable electrospun meshes offer great promise as temporary implants that can utilize the layer upon layer method of additive manufacturing to incorporate porosity as a function of process parameters into a scaffold structure. The interconnected porosity and feature size known to ES have previously been observed to hold great potential for simulating the natural cellular environment of soft tissue. This microstructure, proper degradation kinetics, and mech
