Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Biotechnology
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Cellulose nanofibers offer biocompatibility and biodegradability.
  • Electrospinning is a versatile technique for fabricating nanofiber nonwovens.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fabricate and characterize cellulose nanofibers via electrospinning.
  • To investigate the influence of electrospinning parameters on fiber alignment and mechanical properties.
  • To evaluate the potential of these nonwovens as scaffolds for tissue engineering.

Main Methods:

  • Electrospinning of cotton cellulose in LiCl/DMAc solution.
  • Systematic investigation of cellulose solution properties, collector speed, and applied voltage.
  • Analysis using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Polarized Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and tensile testing.
  • Cell culture experiments with human dental follicle cells.

Main Results:

  • Electrospun cellulose nanofibers were successfully fabricated and found to be largely amorphous.
  • Increased collector rotation speed led to preferential fiber alignment and improved molecular orientation.
  • Higher collection speeds significantly enhanced the tensile strength of the nonwovens along the orientation direction.
  • Cell culture demonstrated rapid proliferation of human dental follicle cells throughout the scaffold.

Conclusions:

  • Electrospinning parameters, particularly collector speed, critically influence cellulose nonwoven structure and mechanical properties.
  • Aligned cellulose nanofiber nonwovens exhibit excellent biocompatibility and support robust cell growth.
  • These materials show significant potential as scaffolds for tissue engineering applications.
