This study aims at producing thinner and more uniform fibers with a
multineedle electrospinning system. For this purpose 8-needle experimental
setups were used. Experimental work was carried out to study the effect of
collector on orientation and distribution on fiber diameters and the collection
fiber mats. A cilindrical and plate colletor were use for this purpose. Fibers of
PCL-Bioglass and Chitosan- ZnO different polymer concentration, were
spinnered at different intervales of time and different kind of collectors.
Parameters as a voltage, distance, temperature and were flow rate were
studied.
A degradation in vitro study test was made to know the different degradation
rates of Chitosan-PCL fibers and the effect of different collection form.
Fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS) and
Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).
