研究目的
To investigate the effects of viscosity and conductivity of polymer solution on nano?ber diameter and density within the 3D ?brous scaffold for tissue engineering.
研究成果
The formation of a 3D nano?ber structure was determined by the solution viscosity, with the minimum viscosity level between 125 mPa s and 208 mPa s. The homogeneity in ?ber distribution can be enhanced by increasing the electrical conductivity or the material density.
研究不足
The study did not explore the exact mechanisms of conductivity decrease due to AgNPs binding to the PCL. Future studies are needed to investigate this aspect.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
A divergence static electric field was introduced in an electrospinning system to induce a self-assembly of aligned PCL nano?bers into a 3D architecture.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
PCL polymer solutions were prepared with varying concentrations and silver nanoparticles were added to adjust electrical conductivity.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Included a high-voltage direct-current power source, a specially-designed PLA collector, PCL pellets, silver nanoparticles, and a digital rotational viscometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The collector was placed on an insulating stand in the electrospinning chamber, and the PCL solution was pumped at a rate of 1 mL/h with a voltage set to 10 kV.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Fiber diameter and density were analyzed using SEM images and ImageJ software.
