Core–Sheath Wet Electrospinning of Nanoporous Polycaprolactone Microtubes to Mimic Fenestrated Capillaries

Abstract

Back Cover: In article number 2000180, George Z. Tan and Yingge Zhou present a novel core–sheath wet electrospinning approach to fabricate nanoporous polycaprolactone microtubes as potential functional capillaries for tissue engineering. The solution viscosity and humidity significantly influence the morphology of electrospun polymers, leading to various products including porous microbeads, helical microfibers, and microtubes. The nanoporous microtubes have similar size and morphology to human fenestrated capillary vessels.
