What Materials are Used in Electrospinning for Histology?
A variety of materials can be used in electrospinning, including: - Natural Polymers: Such as collagen, gelatin, and chitosan, which are inherently biocompatible and biodegradable. - Synthetic Polymers: Such as polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA), and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), which offer greater control over mechanical properties and degradation rates. - Composite Materials: Combining natural and synthetic polymers to leverage the benefits of both.
