OPEN Repository

Welcome to OPEN - the Repository of Open Scientific Publications, run by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Mathematical and Computational Modelling, University of Warsaw, previously operating as the CeON Repository. The Repository enables Polish researchers from all fields to openly share their articles, books, conference materials, reports, doctoral theses, and other scientific texts.

Publications in the Repository are indexed by the most important search engines and aggregators and downloaded by users worldwide. We invite you to create an account, deposit your publications, and use the resources of the Repository.

Electrospinning is a simple and efficient method of polymer fibers fabrication. In this method electrostatic forces are used to obtain fibers or particles with different morphology and size from micro- to nanometers. Nowadays more than 100 polymers, natural or synthetic ones, have been successfully electrospun into fibers. Electrospinning process is affected by various different parameters such as viscosity, polymer’s average molecular mass, voltage, flow rate, etc. Electrospinning of biopolymers, alginate and chitosan, is difficult. Both of these polymers are non-toxic, biodegradable and possess antibacterial properties, all these properties are desirable in biomedical applications. In the presented work an influence of parameters of electrospinning on process of obtaining of alginate and chitosan fibers was presented and discussed. Alginate fibers were obtained with poly(ethylene oxide), while chitosan fibers were prepared from trifluoroacetic acid and dichloromethane solution.
