AbstractElectrospinning, a fabrication technique used to create non-woven, porous templates from natural and synthetic polymers, is commonly used in tissue engineering because it is highly tailorable. However, traditional electrospinning creates restrictive pore sizes that limit the required cell migration. Therefore, tissue engineering groups have sought to enhance and regulate porosity of tissue engineering templates. Air-impedance electrospinning generates templates with tailorable, patterned areas of low and high density fiber deposition. Here we demonstrate an improved air-impedance electrospinning system, consisting of a newly designed funnel equipped to hold changeable porous deposition plates and administer air flow in a confined and focused manner, with parameters that maintain template integrity. In this preliminary study, we quantify the increase in porosity of polydioxanone templates with use of traditional fiber and pore analysis as well as with mercury porosimetry. Additionally, we validate the system’s significance in fabricating enhanced porosity templates that maintain their mechanical properties (i.e. elastic modulus, tensile strength, and suture retention strength) despite the deliberate increase in porosity. This is of exceptional value to the template’s integrity and efficacy as these parameters can be further optimized to induce the desired template porosity, strength, and texture for a given application.

The selection of the optimum scaffold fabrication method becomes challenging due to a variety of manufacturing methods, existing biomaterials and technical requirements. Although, Digital light processing (DLP) 3D printing process is one of the SLA techniques which commonly used to fabricate tissue engineering scaffold, however, there is no report published on the fabrication of tissue engineering scaffold-based PEGDA filled with Aramid Nanofiber (ANFs). Hence, the feasible parameter setting for fabricating this material using DLP technique is currently unknown. This work aims to establish the feasible setting parameter via DLP 3D printing to fabricate PEGDA/ANFs 3D tissue engineering scaffold. Preliminary study has been done to identify the accurate composition and curing time setting in producing scaffold. In this work, the researcher has proved the potential and capability of these novel composition biomaterial PEGDA/ANFs to be print via DLP-3D printing technique to form a 3D structure which is not yet been established and has not reported elsewhere.
