Theses
Electrospinning has been extensively used as an effective technique for the fabrication of submicron and nanometer scale polymeric fibers. In spite of technological advances in electrospinning, creating a highly aligned fiber structure is a tough target to be achieved because of the chaotic motion of the electrospinning jet. In this study, two different techniques have been adopted to form a highly aligned nanofibrous scaffolds. Using these methods highly aligned fiber yams and mats are produced from Cellulose Acetate (CA) in a mixed solvent of acetone and water. In both the techniques the nanofibers suspend over the gap in a highly …
