Electrospinning of continuous poly (L-lactide) yarns: Effect of twist on the morphology, thermal properties and mechanical behavior

Electrospun strong, bioactive, and bioabsorbable silk fibroin/poly (L-lactic-acid) nanoyarns for constructing advanced nanotextile tissue scaffolds

“…Twisting process has been widely utilized to enhance the cohesive force between fibers in the yarn texture, further resulting in the increase of the mechanical properties of textile yarns in the traditional textile industry [ 22 , 23 ]. It is demonstrated that the twisted nanoyarns present better mechanical properties than the untwisted nanoyarns [ 24 , 25 ]. However, compared with the traditional textile yarns, the prepared twisted nanoyarns are only equivalent to raw filament, which are still unsatisfied for the usage of biotextile fabrication.…”

State-of-the-art review of advanced electrospun nanofiber yarn-based textiles for biomedical applications

“…7 C [ 90 , 91 ]. By using a similar methods as used by Su et al., different polymers, including PAN, PLA [92] , PLLA [ 93 , 94 ], and poly(acrylonitrile-co-methyl acrylate) [95] , have been fabricated into electrospun NYs. One conventional textile yarn supply device was further introduced to the modified conjugate electrospinning system [96] .…”

Cellulose-based fiber spinning processes using ionic liquids

“…Moreover, electrospinning allows modulating the characteristics and functionalities of nanofibrous structures by controlling the fiber features (morphology, diameter, crystallinity, porosity, etc.) by tuning solution properties and adjusting the process variables (Foong et al 2020;Maleki et al 2017;Zavgorodnya et al 2017). The nanofibrous structures composed of electrospun cellulose fibers generally exhibit several excellent characteristics, likely very large surface area over volume ratio, high porosity with a very small pore size, mechanical reinforcement, and enhanced surface reactivity, which make them appropriate candidates for diverse technical, industrial, and biomedical applications such as functional textiles, filtration membranes, tissue engineering scaffolds, wound healing, drug delivery, etc.…”
