Encapsulation of Multiple Biological Compounds Within a Single Electrospun Fiber

Abstract

Encapsulation of multiple biological compounds within a single electrospun fiber is achieved by a combination of electrospinning and the encapsulation of bioactive compounds using nanoparticles (see image). Compared to the encapsulation of a single component inside electrospun fiber, the encapsulation of two components offers the opportunity to control the release of two materials at the same time, which should have great potential in the field of tissue engineering.
