  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 8 more meshes • Visited Janelia Farm and used SEM • Details on cell procedure • Began cell work

  4. Electrospun Meshes • Mesh 5 & 6 • Spun on 3/1 • 15 kV • 15 cm from tip of pipette to collector plate • Pasteur pipette used • Glass slide down middle

  5. Electrospun Meshes • Mesh 7 & 8 • Spun on 3/11 • 15 wt.% solution from 3/9 • Mesh 7 • 20 kV • 15 cm • No glass slide • Mesh 8 • 20 kV • 20 cm • Glass slide

  6. Electrospun Meshes • Mesh 9 & 10 • Spun on 3/17 • 10 wt.% solution from 3/15 • Mesh 9 • 15 kV • 15 cm • Glass slide • Mesh 10 • 20 kV • 15 cm • Glass slide

  7. Electrospun Meshes • Mesh 11 & 12 • Spun on 3/23 • 20 wt.% solution from 3/21 • Mesh 11 • 15 kV • 15 cm • Glass slide • Mesh 12 • 20 kV • 15 cm • Glass slide

  8. Chitosan Solution • Created PCL/chitosan solution to begin electrospinning • 15 wt.% PCL, 1 wt.% chitosan • 3 g PCL, .2 g chitosan, 16.8 g acetic acid

  14. Conclusion from SEM • Beading is still a problem • Sections of fibers and sections of beading • Ideas to fix • Increase the voltage • Decrease the concentration • Increase the distance • Comparison of fiber size • Mesh 1: 185 nm vs. Mesh 4&6: ~300 nm

  15. Cell Work • Meetings with Anu, Estelle, and Ms. Curley • Determined basic procedure • Centrifuge thawed cells • Add media to pellet of cells & resuspend • Transfer to flask (in our case, tissue culture plates) • Allow cells to grow until about plate covered about 80% • Split to new containers

  16. Cell Work • Checked to see if mesh dissolves in media • Placed small piece of mesh in 500 µL of media • Let sit for 2 days- checking periodically • Mesh did not dissolve meaning cell growth is possible

  17. To be worked on: • Use SEM on meshes created since last time (7-12) • Different SEM? • Cell work • Begin with Mesh 4 (best fibers imaged) • Continue with other meshes • Begin spinning PCL/chitosan solutions
