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]
