Patterned nanofiber meshes for biomedical applications

Neves N.M., Campos R., Pedro A., Cunha J., Macedo F., Reis R.L., University of Minho, PT

The typical end-product of the electrospinning process is a randomly aligned fibre mesh or membrane. This is a result of the electric field generated between the drop of polymer solution at the needle and the [...]

Improvement of Polycaprolactone Nanofibers Topographies: Testing the Influence in Osteoblastic Proliferation

Martins A., Cunha J., Macedo F., Reis R.L., Neves N.M., University of Minho, PT

The nanofiber technology of present interest focuses on the electrospinning technique, which conveniently allows the preparation of fibrous materials with very fine diameters ranging from submicron to several nanometers. With the ability to form nanofibrous [...]
