There are several methods for fabricating nanofibrous scaffolds, each with its own advantages and limitations. The most common techniques include electrospinning, self-assembly, and phase separation.
1. Electrospinning: This technique uses an electric field to draw charged threads of polymer solutions or melts into fibers with diameters ranging from nanometers to micrometers. 2. Self-assembly: Molecules spontaneously organize into structured arrangements without external guidance. 3. Phase Separation: A process where a polymer solution separates into two distinct phases, forming a fibrous structure upon removal of the solvent.
