The design trend in tissue-engineering scaffolds based on nanomechanical properties of individual electrospun nanofibers.
International Journal of Pharmaceutics 2013 October 16
This paper especially highlights the finding that the mechanical properties of polymeric nanofibers can be tuned by changing the fiber size as well as the composition. For this purpose, the bending Young's modulus was determined using atomic force microscope by involving single-material (polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO 400K)) and composite nanofibers (polyvinyl alcohol/hyaluronic acid (PVA/HA), polyethylene oxide/chitosan (PEO 400K/CS)). The mechanical property, namely the bending Young's modulus, increases as the diameter of the fibers decreases from the bulk down to the nanometer regime (less than 200 nm). The ranking of increasing stiffness according to the AFM measurements of the three-point beam bending test are in agreement, and can be ranked: PEO 400K
