| description | Bio-polymer gelatine can be found in a broad variety of applications, mostly in the food industry. Moreover, it is used in the encapsulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients. In electrospinning, it is used for drug release, but can also strongly influence the morphologies of nanofiber mats when blended with other polymers. In a recent project, we studied the influence of adding citric acid and coconut oil to gelatine electrospinning solutions. While the former can be used to modify gelatine nanofiber diameters and create diverse morphologies between the fibres and sprayed droplets of different shapes, the latter results in an electrospraying process and additionally increases water resistance, suggesting a possible use of the combination for tailored drug release. |
