Nanofibrous Materials for Medical Applications
Brief introduction to uniqueness of nanofibrous materials for medical applications as scaffolds for tissue engineering, wound dressings and drug delivery systems. A quick historical overview - inspiration in nature etc. Brief introduction to different types of technologies for production of polymeric nanofibers (DC and AC electrospinning, Drawing of individual fibers, Solution Blow Spinning, Centrifugal Spinning,...). Examples of different material application, combination of technologies for different applications. Advantages and disadvantages of the introduced technologies. The advantages of using different technologies for specific applications such as wound dressing, dental floss, surgical floss, vascular bandages, bone and knee cartilage scaffolds, protective clothing, drug delivery systems, etc. will be described. The workshop will include a demonstration of a large number of different samples. Samples will also be prepared for individual participants to take away. The workshop will also include a demonstration of a basic device for in-situ application of nanofibers by Solution Blow Spinning and/or centrifugal spinning and/or production of individual fibers by Drawing technology. Brief introduction to sterilization, packaging and storage of nanofibrous samples for medical applications.
