  1. Fabrication of an electrospunnanofibrous scaffold for use in the field of tissue engineering By: Shannon Daily & Tyler Crawford

  2. Purpose • To create a polycaprolactone mesh which enables cell activity and seeks to eventually provide an application in the field of tissue engineering toward biomimetic skin graft.

  3. Progress since last meeting • Spun 4 more meshes • Visited Janelia Farm and used SEM • Changed procedure slightly • Created Timeline

  4. Electrospun Meshes • All 15 wt. % solution using acetic acid as solvent • 15 kV • 15cm • Used syringe pump (flow rate .02 ml/s) for first three meshes • Now using pipette to reduce beading

  5. SEM Images Mesh 1, Image a Magnification: 148.685 µm x 111.514 µm

  6. SEM Images Mesh 1, Image b Magnification: 11.643 µm x 8.732 µm

  7. SEM Images Mesh 2, Image a Magnification: 173.875 µm x 130.406 µm

  8. SEM Images Mesh 2, Image b Magnification: 24.607 µm x 18.455 µm

  9. To be worked on: • View SEM images of new PCL meshes • Visiting Janelia Farm on March 9 • Begin varying voltage of pure PCL • Create chitosan/PCL solution • Begin cell work • Updates • ED • wikipage
