Preparation of collagen/polyurethane/knitted silk as a composite scaffold for tendon tissue engineering.

TL;DR: Tensile test of the specimens including blend nanofiber, knitted silk and commercial tendon substitute indicated that collagen/polyurethane-coated knitted Silk has appropriate mechanical properties as a scaffold for tendon tissue engineering.

Mechanical and tribological properties of electrospun PA 6(3)T fiber mats

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanical and tribological properties of electrospun nanofiber mat with poly(trimethyl hexamethylene terephthalamide) (PA 6(3)T) with an average fiber diameter of 463±-64nm were characterized.

Collagenous Extracellular Matrix Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering: Lessons from the Common Sea Urchin Tissue.

TL;DR: Application of recent theories of stress transfer and fracture mechanisms in fibre reinforced composites to a wide variety of collagen reinforcing (non-mutable) connective tissue, has allowed us to draw general conclusions concerning the mechanical response of the MCT at specific mechanical states, namely the stiff and complaint states.

The effect of processing variables on the morphology of electrospun nanofibers and textiles

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of two of the most important processing parameters, spinning voltage and solution concentration, on the morphology of the fibers formed were evaluated systematically, and it was found that spinning voltage is strongly correlated with the formation of bead defects in the fibers, and that current measurements may be used to signal the onset of the processing voltage at which the bead defect density increases substantially.

Bending instability of electrically charged liquid jets of polymer solutions in electrospinning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and explained the reasons for the instability of a viscous jet of polymer solution at a pendent droplet, showing that the longitudinal stress caused by the external electric field acting on the charge carried by the jet stabilized the straight jet for some distance.
