Tailored collector design for optimization of alignment of biomimetic nanofibers

Abstract

Here we demonstrate a unique design of a collector for an Electrospining setup which produces scaffold with majority of aligned nanofibers. Previous researchers have shown that the scaffold with aligned nanofibers gives maximum cell proliferation and enhances cell adherence. Also, the geometry of collector influences the alignment of fibers. We develop custom integrated Electrospining setup, build in laboratory, to make scaffold with aligned nanofibers. We use SEM to characterize the structural and morphological aspects of scaffold thus produced
