Abstract
Advancements in technology and material development in recent years has led to significant breakthroughs in the remit of fiber engineering. Conventional methods such as wet spinning, melt spinning, phase separation and template synthesis have been reported to develop fibrous structures for an array of applications. However, these methods have limitations with respect to processing conditions (e.g. high processing temperatures, shear stresses) and production (e.g. non-continuous fibers). The materials that can be processed using these methods are also limited, deterring their use in practical applications. Producing fibrous structures on a nanometer scale, in sync with the advancements in nanotechnology is another challenge met by these conventional methods. In this review we aim to present a brief overview of conventional methods of fiber fabrication and focus on the emerging fiber engineering techniques namely electrospinning, centrifugal spinning and pressurised gyration. This review will discuss the fundamental principles and factors governing each fabrication method and converge on the applications of the resulting spun fibers; specifically, in the drug delivery remit and in regenerative medicine.

Quantitative Investigation of the Process Parameters of Electrohydrodynamic Direct-Writing and Their Effects on Fiber Surface Roughness and Cell Adhesion. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12112475. [PMID: 33113835 PMCID: PMC7692382 DOI: 10.3390/polym12112475] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2020] [Revised: 10/20/2020] [Accepted: 10/23/2020] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) direct-writing has been widely used to fabricate micro/nanofibers that can serve as a building block in tissue engineering scaffolds. However, the application of EHD direct-writing in tissue engineering is limited by the lack of fundamental knowledge in the correlations among the process parameters, the fiber surface roughness, and the cell adhesion performance. Without a standardized experimental setting and the quantitative database, inconsistent results have been reported. Here, we quantitatively investigate the process–structure–property relationships as the first step towards a better understanding of the EHD direct-writing technology for tissue engineering. Polycaprolactone (PCL) solution is used as a model ink material, and human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are used to study cell adhesion on PCL fibers. We investigate the different jetting modes defined by the applied voltage, the feed rate, and the nozzle–collector distance. The quantitative effects of process parameters on the fiber surface roughness and the cell adhesion performance are experimentally determined. The quantitative process–structure–property relationships revealed in this study provide guidelines for controlling the surface roughness and the cell adhesion performance of EHD direct-written fibers. This study will facilitate the application of EHD direct-writing in tissue engineering.

Abstract
Inflammation and oxidative stress are major problems in peripheral nerve injury. Nanoceria can manipulate antioxidant factor expression, stimulate angiogenesis, and assist in axonal regeneration. We fabricate collagen/nanoceria/polycaprolactone (COL/NC/PCL) conduit by asymmetrical three-dimensional manufacture and find that this scaffold successfully improves Schwann cell proliferation, adhesion, and neural expression. In a 15-mm rat sciatic nerve defect model, we further confirm that the COL/NC/PCL conduit markedly alleviates inflammation and oxidative stress, improves microvessel growth, and contributes to functional, electrophysiological, and morphological nerve restoration in the long term. Our findings provide compelling evidence for future research in antioxidant nerve conduit for severe neurological defects. Collagen/nanoceria/polycaprolactone conduit was prepared by asymmetrical fabrication The scaffold induced proliferation, adhesion, and angiogenesis in nerve repair The scaffold alleviated oxidative stress and inflammation in the microenvironment

Abstract
This review gives an overview of techniques used for high-resolution jet printing that rely on electrohydrodynamically induced flows. Such methods enable the direct, additive patterning of materials with a resolution that can extend below 100 nm to provide unique opportunities not only in scientific studies but also in a range of applications that includes printed electronics, tissue engineering, and photonic and plasmonic devices. Following a brief historical perspective, this review presents descriptions of the underlying processes involved in the formation of liquid cones and jets to establish critical factors in the printing process. Different printing systems that share similar principles are then described, along with key advances that have been made in the last decade. Capabilities in terms of printable materials and levels of resolution are reviewed, with a strong emphasis on areas of potential application.
