Fabrication of fibrous scaffolds: advantages and disadvantages.
Method | Advantages | Disadvantages | References |
---|---|---|---|
Fiber Mesh | High surface area for cell attachment | Low structural stability | [21] |
Fiber Bonding | High surface to volume ratio, high porosity | Limited applications to other polymers | [132] |
Electrospinning | Induces cell alignment and directionality | Limited by cell seeding | [143,144,145] |
Phase Separation | No reduction in the activity of molecules | Difficult to control the scaffold morphology | [138,146] |
Self-Assembly | Form extremely stable scaffolds, less use of organic solvent | Expensive material, complicated and elaborate process | [147,148] |
