Application of textile technology in tissue engineering: A review

Electrospun strong, bioactive, and bioabsorbable silk fibroin/poly (L-lactic-acid) nanoyarns for constructing advanced nanotextile tissue scaffolds

“…In recent years, biomedical textiles have received attractive attentions in the fields of tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, originated from their adjustable 3D porous structure, appropriate integration of softness and hardness, and ideal biological properties [ 1 , 2 ]. Biomedical textiles are commonly designed and implemented by interlacing fiber-constructed yarns with various textile technique (i.e., weaving, knitting, and braiding).…”

“…The appropriate mechanical properties are also significantly important for the fabrication of electrospun nanoyarns. It is well known that sufficient mechanical properties are the prerequisite conditions to implement the textile yarns into various applications [ 1 , 21 ]. Twisting process has been widely utilized to enhance the cohesive force between fibers in the yarn texture, further resulting in the increase of the mechanical properties of textile yarns in the traditional textile industry [ 22 , 23 ].…”

State-of-the-art review of advanced electrospun nanofiber yarn-based textiles for biomedical applications

“…In the textile industry, fiber-constructed yarns are the most widely used building blocks for the generation of various textiles. Microfibrous yarns have been extensively used in various textile processing technologies for thousands of years [ 1 , 9 ]. The application of electrospun NYs in the traditional textile processing techniques offers the potential to manufacture nanotextiles that exhibit superior characteristics and optical, electrical, mechanical, and biological properties due to size effects and surface/interface effects.…”

“…Biotextiles are one broad type of medical devices/materials with given textile structures and patterns and are used in specific biological environments, depending on their biocompatibility and biostability with cells and biological fluids. Biotextiles commonly include engineered textile scaffolds and implants [1] , textile-based drug delivery carriers [2] , hygiene textiles [3] , and wearable bioelectronic devices [4] . For instance, the medical face masks are one typical biotextile, which are widely utilized to stop the transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) during the COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Applications of Smart Clothing – a Brief Overview

“…Also, the life duration of the produced goods is not the best at the moment. But all of these problems will be solved within the next years since these are minor difficulties that can be solved by further development and research as well as practical experiences [104]. Some media boldly predict that soon, the boundary between digital products and clothes will become increasingly blurred, with future electronic products perfectly "hidden" in clothing, while future clothing will be transformed into a computer that can be "worn" on the body.…”
