Development of UV-Reactive Electrospinning Method Based on Poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate Crosslinking

Electrospinning is a popular method for creating nonwoven fiber materials for a wide variety of applications. In the field of biomaterials, electrospun materials are favoured because of a high surface-to-volume ratio which can be useful for drug loading and release, and because nanoscale fibers mimi...

description Electrospinning is a popular method for creating nonwoven fiber materials for a wide variety of applications. In the field of biomaterials, electrospun materials are favoured because of a high surface-to-volume ratio which can be useful for drug loading and release, and because nanoscale fibers mimic native tissue structures, improving cell interactions.
