Event Abstract Back to Event Fabrication of aligned structure tissue engineering scaffold by electrospinning using magnetic field Zhen Li1*, Lei Zhang1* and Feng Lin1* 1 Tsinghua University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, China Introduction: The technology of electrospinning is an important method in fabrication of the tissue engineering scaffold, having the superiority of small diameter, high porosity and so on. Especially, the structure of aligned fiber has many advantages, such as it is good for the adhesion and proliferation of cells. But the random non-woven fabric structure is got using the ordinary method of electrospinning, and that how to fabricate aligned fiber is one of the hot issues in this field. The purpose of this study is to fabricate the aligned fiber using the mothed of electrospinning in the static magnetic field and analyze the influence of the magnetic field. Materials and Methods: In this study, we fabricated fibers by electrospinning using the PLGA and 1,4-dioxide solution. In order to verify the effect of the static magnetic field in the process of electrospinning, different kinds of materials of magnets (ferrite and NdFeB, we also used plastic block as contrast) and different magnetic field distribution were used in this experiment. And in order to analyze the theoretic effect of the magnetic field, the scale of the force and the movement effect on the fiber were analyzed and estimated by establishing a model of fiber’s deposition. Result and Discussion: In the experiment, some good experimental parameter was found in the electrospinning of the PLGA and 1,4-dioxide solution. But it is shown that we got the same aligned fibers whether the same magnetic poles is opposite or different magnetic poles is opposite. It illustrated that the main factors of the aligned structure are physic structure of the receiver and the electric field distribution instead of the magnetic field. The model calculating result showed that the direction of the force couldn’t make the fiber despite along the magnetic field between the two magnets. And the force is too small to control the movement of the fiber. Conclusions: According to the experimental and theoretical results, the influence of the fiber structure by magnetic field is small and this conclusion is opposite to many study in this field. In this study, some extra experiment made the conclusions before not valid any more and the theory of the magnetic electrospinning needs further researches.
