Description
Summary:Based on specifc applications of electrospinning technology in tissue engineering there is a need for more crucial advances to be made in electrospinning of biocompatible polymer systems. In this study we investigated the effect of surface tension of different solvent systems on the morphology of electrospun nanofbers of gelatin and PLGA. At first the best solvent system was established to optimize nanofber formation of the polymers. The overall approach of this research was to prepare several solutions of identical concentrations with different solvent systems for electospinning into nanofbes. Finally, the changes in electrospun fber
