“…It then bends due to electrical instability to follow a whipping and spiraling path, reducing the jet diameter. The solvent evaporates on the way and the jet solidifies to form a non-woven fibrous mat on the grounded collector [46,47]. An electrically grounded rotating drum can be used as the collector to achieve preferred orientation if desired [48,49].…”

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine is an exciting research area that aims at regenerative alternatives to harvested tissues for transplantation. Biomaterials play a pivotal role as scaffolds to provide three-dimensional templates and synthetic extracellular-matrix environments for tissue regeneration. It is often beneficial for the scaffolds to mimic certain advantageous characteristics of the natural extracellular matrix, or developmental or would healing programs. This article reviews current biomimetic materials approaches in tissue engineering. These include synthesis to achieve certain compositions or properties similar to those of the extracellular matrix, novel processing technologies to achieve structural features mimicking the extracellular matrix on various levels, approaches to emulate cell-extracellular matrix interactions, and biologic delivery strategies to recapitulate a signaling cascade or developmental/would-healing program. The article also provides examples of enhanced cellular/tissue functions and regenerative outcomes, demonstrating the excitement and significance of the biomimetic materials for tissue engineering and regeneration.

“…The fibers exhibit several interesting characteristics, for example, a high surface area to mass or volume ratio, high density of pores in sub-micrometer length scale, vast possibilities for surface functionalization, etc. [4,5]. These unique properties have triggered a broad range of potential applications, including nanocomposites [6], scaffolds for tissue engineering [7], sensors [8], protective clothing and filtration membranes [9], magneto-responsive fibers [10], superhydrophobic membranes [11], and especially drug delivery [12].…”

Homo-polymers of 2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate (PCEMA) and block co-polymers with methylmethacrylate (MMA) synthesized via copper(I)bromide/pentamethyldiethylentriamine-mediated atom transfer polymerization (ATRP) and microwave irradiation, under homo(co)polymerization conditions, are reported. Method 1 led to homo-polymers with relatively low molecular weight (PCEMA-1: 5100; PCEMA-2: 25 000), while the second method offered polymer of 100 000 average molecular weight (PCEMA-3), the polymerization being completed within 60 min. Two di-block co-polymers, poly(2-cinnamoyloxyethyl methacrylate-block-poly(methyl methacrylate)) ((PCEMA-b-PMMA)-1, (PCEMA-b-PMMA)-2) with 0.33 and, respectively, 0.5 molar fraction of photo-cross-linkable PCEMA were also prepared and utilized for this study. Subsequent gel-permeation chromatography (GPC) measurements on block co-polymers have indicated molecular weights of 24 000 and 45 700, respectively. In addition, structural characteristics for all photo-polymers were determined by FT-IR, 1 H-NMR, UV-Vis spectroscopy, AFM and SEM/ESEM measurements. Photochemistry in thin polymeric films suggested that UV irradiation is accompanied by an insolubilization of the film caused by the transformation of cinnamate moieties and the formation of intermolecular cross-links, with important effects on the morphology. As expected, it was found that by electrospinning the above photo-polymers produced electrospun fibers of small diameter.
