“…In both cases, the aim has been to achieve unidirectional fibre orientation, in particular in the axial direction for tubular scaffolds, as is the case of fibre orientation in tunica media in arteries [6,19]. Various techniques have been used in the past for the fabrication of porous scaffolds, such as drawing [26], phase separation [31], template synthesis [7], self-assembly [37], particulate leaching [12], foaming [24], freeze-drying [23], and electrospinning [4,20,34,39]. Electrospinning has been used for the fabrication of the fibrous scaffolds in this study, followed by crosslinking of gelatine in glutaldehyde solution [15][16]36].…”
