Electrospinning of hyaluronic acid nanofibers from aqueous ammonium solutions

Design and manufacture of neural tissue engineering scaffolds using hyaluronic acid and polycaprolactone nanofibers with controlled porosity

“…Existence of another peak at 3400 confirms the presence of O-H stretching bond and amino group [43,44]. Presence of OH groups in HA structure increasing water absorption and improving the interaction between cells and scaffolds [27,45] Figure 2 and figure 3 show SEM micrographs of electrospun pure PCL and PCL/HA composite scaffolds and the average diameter of nanofibrous scaffolds, respectively. As it can be seen, average fiber diameters of all samples are less than 150 nm.…”

Electrospun adherent–antiadherent bilayered membranes based on cross-linked hyaluronic acid for advanced tissue engineering applications

“…It is a natural linear polysaccharide composed of repeating units of β-1-4-D-glucuronic acid and β-1-3-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine [1,2]. In the last decade it has been widely proposed for many biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility, its positive influence in the healing process, the angiogenic character of its degradation products and its potential as a drug release system [1,2,3,4,5].…”

Designing electrospun nanofiber mats to promote wound healing – a review

“…Heavily exuding wounds require an exceptionally absorbent dressing, while a dry wound should receive a high water content dressing for rehydration. Nanober mats electrospun from biopolyelectrolytes, such as hyaluronic acid 56 hold promise for these wounds. A cavity wound must be packed with a exible and suitable dressing.…”
