Functional electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for biomedical applications. (2007, methodology): “have electrospun gelatin into nanofibers with diameters ranging from 100 to 340 nm using 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol as the solvent [64].”
High Strength and High Modulus Electrospun Nanofibers (2014, background): “Electrospun nanofibers typically display tensile strengths below 300 MPa and Young’s moduli below 3 GPa [12,14–19], which can be mainly ascribed to the low degree of orientation and chain extension of the polymer chains along the fiber axis.”
Structure and Properties of Keratin/Peo Blend Nanofibres (2008, background): “Much attention has been focused on the electrospinning of biopolymers such as silk fibroin [10,11], collagen [12], fibrinogen [13] and gelatine [14], but keratin has received poor attention even though it is one of the most abundant proteins, being the major component of hair, feathers, wool, nails ”
Electrospun poly(epsilon-caprolactone)/gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds for nerve tissue engineering. (2008, background): “Gelatin can be easily dissolved in water at a temperature of 40 C [31] and hence by increasing gelatin content the biodegradability of PCL/ gelatin nanofibrous scaffolds increased in PBS over 2-week period.”
