Electrospinning of low density PCL fibers on SLS scaffold by Leong, Yew Meng.

“…In this study, PCL fibers were spun on a spinning mandrel collector and investigated to examine the effects of electrospinning parameters- acceleration voltage and feed rate on fiber diameter. Hence both small (0.5-1um) and large (8-10um) fibers were attempted to be spun by varying acceleration voltage and feed rate. …”
