Electrospinning of highly aligned fibers for drug delivery applications

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: release studies revealed that the aligned fibers had less burst release (~10.8% in 24 hr) and more sustained release (~8.8% average rate of change for 24 days) compared to the random fibers. Finally, the degradation modes of the aligned and random fibers after 25 days incubation were characterized and compared. The findings of this study can be applied for the development of 3D degradable aligned fibers for controlled drug release and tissue engineering applications.
