Electrospin Bio-Polymeric New Fibers as Valuable Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering and Reinforcing Materials In Nanocomposites

Electrospinning introduces a new level of versatility and a wide group of materials into the micro/nanofiber range. This tecnology provides a unique potential for tissue engineering and anisotropic reinforcement of elastomers. The contribution highlights the platform technology for manufacturing oriented scaffolds for nerve cell regenaration from poly sialic acid.

In addition, the potential of polysaccharides, such as chitosane and cellulose derivates, and polylisine is explored for making non-wovens which excert anisotropic reinforcing effects in rubber matrices.
