A Novel Technique for Fabricating Aligned Nanofibers by Using Solution Electrospinning
… Science project, a novel technique of producing aligned nanofibers has been created by using new designed apparatus. Solution electrospinning has been used for nanofibers fabrication. During solution electrospinning, when two negative (-20kV) charged wheels and a positive (+20kV) charged needle …

Capillary densification and adhesion tuning of aligned carbon nanotube arrays for shape-engineerable architectures
… intrinsic and scale-dependent properties of aligned nanofibers (NFs), such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their ability to be self-assembled by capillary forces motivates their use as shape-engineerable materials. In order to achieve facile and accurate patterning and densification of NFs …

Interactions of Fibroblast with Cytotoxic and Invasive Strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on ECM Mimicking Fibers
… study host cell-pathogen interactions on highly aligned nanofibers of varied spacing and diameter, which mimic the fibroblast deposited ECM and dictate fibroblast morphology. We discovered that the cytotoxic strain of P. aeruginosa induced significantly shorter fibroblast death times. …

Design and nondestructive imaging of a bioengineered vascular graft endothelium
… adherence under fluid flow. ECs on uniaxially aligned nanofibers displayed elongated and aligned morphologies leading to higher adherence to the scaffolds under physiologic levels of fluid flow as compared to those on randomly oriented scaffolds. In the second study, a fiber optic based (FOB) …

Fabrication of aligned nanofiber yarns, mats and isolation of single nanofiber in electrospinning
… advances in electrospinning, creating a highly aligned fiber structure is a tough target to be achieved because of the chaotic motion of the electrospinning jet. In this study, two different techniques have been adopted to form a highly aligned nanofibrous scaffolds. Using these methods highly …

Shape Memory Assisted Self Healing (Smash) Polymeric and Composite Systems
… innovative smart polymeric soft material where aligned nanofibers are used to construct anisotropy embedded in an elastomeric matrix. This system, termed "Anisotropic Shape Memory Elastomeric Composite" (A-SMEC) was investigated for RPSM and SMASH properties. In addition, the anisotropic …

Interfacial and Physical Confinement Effects on the Structure and Properties of Aligned Carbon Nanotube Architectures
… intrinsic, and scale-dependent properties of aligned nanofibers, such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their ability to be densified into high volume fraction (commonly, vol%) 3D architectures motivates their use as shape-engineerable materials and composite reinforcement. While controlling …
