Incremental changes in anisotropy induce incremental changes in the material properties of electrospun scaffolds.

Electrospinning can be used to selectively process a variety of natural and synthetic polymers into highly porous scaffolds composed of nano-to-m diameter fibers. This process shows great potential as a gateway to the development of physiologically relevant tissue engineering scaffolds. In this study, we examine how incremental changes in fiber alignment modulate the material properties of a model scaffold.
