Fabrication of Highly Oriented Cylindrical Polyacrylonitrile, Poly(lactide-<i>co</i>-glycolide), Polycaprolactone and Poly(vinyl acetate) Nanofibers for Vascular Graft Applications

Fabrication of Highly Oriented Cylindrical Polyacrylonitrile, Poly(lactide-<i>co</i>-glycolide), Polycaprolactone and Poly(vinyl acetate) Nanofibers for Vascular Graft Applications

Small-diameter vascular grafts fabricated from synthetic polymers have found limited applications so far in vascular surgeries, owing to their poor mechanical properties. In this study, cylindrical nanofibrous structures of highly oriented nanofibers made from polyacrylonitrile, poly (lactide-<i&...
