Growth factors are potent signaling proteins for tissue engineering, but they are susceptible to loss of activity when exposed to solvents used for polymer processing. This work explores preservation of fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF-2) activity in chitosan nanofibers using two-phase electrospinning via a compound coaxial needle and from a water-in-oil emulsion FGF-2 in aqueous poly(vinyl alcohol) is added on either the inside (A/O) or the outside (O/A) of an organic chitosan phase, using the compound needle. FGF-2 is further stabilized by complexation to heparin-based nanoparticles. The emulsion method does not result in detectable incorporation of FGF-2. The A/O fibers incorporate the highest amount of FGF-2. Nanoparticle-stabilized FGF-2 in A/O nanofibers is most active toward bone-marrow stromal cells.

Veno-venous bypass (VVB) is necessary for maintaining hemodynamic and internal environment stabilities in complex liver surgeries. However, the current VVB strategies require systematic anticoagulation and are time-consuming, leading to unexpected complications. This study aims to overcome these limitations by using a novel magnetic artificial blood vessel constructed with heparin-PLCL core-shell nanofibers.

Heterointerface engineering with multiple electroactive and inactive supporting components is considered an efficient approach to enhance electrochemical performance for sodium-ion batteries (SIBs). Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to rationally design heterointerface engineering and understand the synergistic effect reaction mechanisms. In this paper, the two-phase heterointerface engineering (Sb S and FeS ) is well designed to incorporate into N-doped porous hollow carbon nanofibers (Sb-Fe-S@CNFs) by proper electrospinning design.

The cost-effective direct writing of polymer nanofibers (NFs) has garnered considerable research attention as a compelling one-pot strategy for obtaining key building blocks of electrochemical and optical devices. Among the promising applications, the changes in optical response from external stimuli such as mechanical deformation and changes in the thermal environment are of great significance for emerging applications in smart windows, privacy protection, aesthetics, artificial skin, and camouflage. Herein, we propose a rational design for the mass production of customized NFs through the development of focused electric-field polymer writing (FEPW) coupled with the roll-to-roll technique.
