Dry-jet-wet-electrospinning (DJWE) was carried out to study the formational mechanism of poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) electrospun fibers. Morphological comparison between normal electrospinning (NE) and DJWE was investigated. The results showed that jet could solidify quickly in DJWE to avoid bead collapse or fiber coherence. Jet structures could be maintained at very low collection distance. Beanpod-like beads, which were named as primary beads, could be seen at the boundary of stability and instability section and divided into spindle-like beads with longer collection distance. Bead-free electrospun fibers from DJWE had few bonding points among each other, and fast solidification and double-diffusion led to rough and shriveled fiber surface. DJWE mats were higher hydrophobic than that from NE due to more loose structure and higher surface porosity. Higher bead ratio on the surface and rounder bead structure resulted in higher hydrophobicity.

Background: The demand for novel biomaterials has been exponentially rising in the last years as well as the searching for new technologies able to produce more efficient products in both drug delivery systems and regenerative medicine. Objective: The technique that can pretty well encompass the needs for novel and high-end materials with a relatively low-cost and easy operation is the electrospinning of polymer solutions. Methods: Electrospinning usually produces ultrathin fibers that can be applied in a myriad of biomedical devices including sustained delivery systems for drugs, proteins, biomolecules, hormones, etc that can be applied in a broad spectrum of applications, from transdermal patches to cancer-related drugs. Results: Electrospun fibers can be produced to mimic certain tissues of the human body, being an option to create new scaffolds for implants with several advantages. Conclusions: In this review, we aimed to encompass the use of electrospun fibers in the field of biomedical devices, more specifically in the use of electrospun nanofibers applications toward the production of drug delivery systems and scaffolds for tissue regeneration.

Electrospinning has emerged as one of the potential techniques for producing nanofibers. The use of electrospun nanofibers in drug delivery has increased rapidly over recent years due to their valuable properties, which include a large surface area, high porosity, small pore size, superior mechanical properties, and ease of surface modification. A drug loaded nanofiber membrane can be prepared via electrospinning using a model drug and polymer solution; however, the release of the drug from the nanofiber membrane in a safe and controlled way is challenging as a result of the initial burst release. Employing a core-sheath design provides a promising solution for controlling the initial burst release. Numerous studies have reported on the preparation of core-sheath nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning for drug delivery applications. This paper summarizes the physical phenomena, the effects of various parameters in coaxial electrospinning, and the usefulness of core-sheath nanofibers in drug delivery. Furthermore, this report also highlights the future challenges involved in utilizing core-sheath nanofibers for drug delivery applications.

High strength hollow carbon fibers with both porous and solid shell were fabricated by a combination of coaxial electrospinning and emulsion electrospinning. In the coaxial electrospinning, a Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/ Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/Dimethylformamide (DMF) emulsion was used to form the porous shell and a PAN/DMF solution was used to form the solid shell. Fiber surface and cross-section morphology was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Mechanical property of the hollow fibers was characterized by single fiber tensile test using microelectromechanical system devices (MEMS). The effect of pores on mechanical performance of the hollow fibers was studied. Hollow carbon fibers with porous and solid shell both showed a brittle fracture behavior. The modulus and strength of the hollow carbon fibers with solid shell was ∼ 76.1 GPa and 2.04 GPa, respectively. For the hollow carbon fibers with porous shell, the porosity led to ∼ 35 % reduction in strength. The porous fibers with the mediocre strength measured here open new horizons for combining structural functionality with energy storage, in so-called structural batteries.
