Development of novel nano biomaterials via electrospinning

Nanofibers, polymer fibers ranging from submicron to several nanometers, are used in a wide variety of applications and fields because of its large surface area to volume ratio, flexibility in surface conditions and superior mechanical performance compared with any other form of materials. The authors have produced and evaluated nanofibers made from biocompatible and bioabsorbable polymers. Nanofibers via electrospinning method demonstrated similar characters to original polymers. Moreover, non-woven mats and macroscopic flat surface are needed to improve to the development of novel functional nanofibers. Toward these points, in this study, we propose the nanofibrous biomaterials by improved electrospinning methods. Furthermore, we will discuss about the design of novel function for tissue engineering.
