Electrospinning technologies have been of great interest in recent years, due in large part to developments in the field of Bioengineering, including the preparation of novel polymers and advances in tissue engineering, specifically for therapeutic applications. The electrospinning process is, in general, a very benign process that allows the preparation, under mild conditions, of micro- and nano-scale fibers from fiberforming materials, as well as traditionally non-fiber forming materials. This process is of specific interest to the biomedical community because it affords an opportunity to create highly-tailored novel constructs with a multitude of possible uses. Some proposed uses for these materials …
