“…A "mechano-active" small-diameter artificial vascular graft made of elastomeric poly(L-lactide-co-ecaprolactone) (PLCL) was designed by Inoguchi et al using electrospinning technique. The wall thicknesses of those tubular scaffolds were adjustable [60]. Tillman et al evaluated the in vivo stability of the electrospun PCL-collagen scaffolds in vascular reconstruction in a rabbit aortoiliac bypass model [61].…”

The electrospinning technique, which was invented about 100 years ago, has attracted more attention in recent years due to its possible biomedical applications. Electrospun fibers with high surface area to volume ratio and structures mimicking extracellular matrix (ECM) have shown great potential in tissue engineering and drug delivery. In order to develop electrospun fibers for these applications, different biocompatible materials have been used to fabricate fibers with different structures and morphologies, such as single fibers with different composition and structures (blending and core-shell composite fibers) and fiber assemblies (fiber bundles, membranes and scaffolds). This review summarizes the electrospinning techniques which control the composition and structures of the nanofibrous materials. It also outlines possible applications of these fibrous materials in skin, blood vessels, nervous system and bone tissue engineering, as well as in drug delivery.

“…Another inherent limitation of electrospinning is scaffold thickness, especially when spinning onto a cylindrical mandrel. Electrospun scaffolds tend to be thin, typically less than one millimeter in many cases (Inoguchi et al, 2006;Lee et al, 2008). Scaffolds with thicknesses greater than one millimeter are possible to fabricate, but are less commonly seen in the literature (Pham et al, 2006b).…”

“…PLG and its copolymer with PCL also seem to be suitable candidates for combination with PET, because these polymers showed relatively good mechanical properties for construction of scaffolds applicable in soft tissue engineering [25][26][27].…”
