Abstract

AbstractElectrospinning is one of the versatile methods to produce fibers of submicron diameter and the heart of the spinning assembly is the spinneret, voltage assembly, and collector. The spinneret design helps in achieving uniform fibers or fibers with desired morphology. Porous, coaxial fibers, hollow fibers, and profile fibers have a significant impact on the growth and proliferation of cells. Moreover, the collector also plays a significant role in the assimilation of fibers onto the assembly. Different types of orientations of fibers and forms can be achieved by the selection of proper collector assembly. The design of collectors is mostly carried out with potential end use and for particularly biomedical applications aligned fibers, tubular fibers and profile fibers aid in cell proliferation and functionality. The chapter discusses the recent developments in the spinneret and collector assembly.KeywordsBiomedical applicationCollectorElectrospinningSpinneret
