Wet-spun regenerated silk fibroin (RSF) fibers have been extensively studied owing to their 1) useful properties as biomaterials, including good blood compatibility and cyto-compatibility; 2) the various methods available to control the structural characteristics and morphology of the fiber, and 3) the possibility of fabricating blended fibers and new material-embedded fibers. In this study, silk nanofibrils prepared using a new method were embedded in RSF to fabricate wet-spun silk nanofibril/RSF composite fibers. Up to 2% addition of silk nanofibril, the silk nanofibril/RSF dope solution showed slight shear thinning, and the G' and G" of the dope solution were similar. However, above 3% silk nanofibril content, the viscosity of the dope solution significantly increased. In addition, shear thinning was remarkably evident, and the G' of the dope solution was much higher than the G", indicating a very elastic state. As the silk nanofibril content was increased, the wet-spun silk nanofibril/RSF composite fiber became uneven, with a rough surface, and more beaded fibers were produced. Scanning electron microscopy observations revealed that the beaded fibers were attributed to the inhomogeneous dispersion and presence of agglomerates of the silk nanofibrils. As the silk nanofibril content and RSF concentration increased, the maximum draw ratio decreased, indicating the deterioration of the wet spinnability and post-drawing performance of silk nanofibril/RSF.

Electrospun fibers of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were successfully prepared and applied as drug carriers for transdermal drug delivery system. Sodium Salicylate (SS) was the model drug and it was incorporated in the PVA fibers by adding 20 % of SS in a PVA solution prior to electrospinning. Electrospinning of SS-containing PVA solution resulted in the formation of beaded fibers. In order to control the rate of SS release and decrease water solubility of PVA, the SS-loaded electrospun PVA mat was cross-linked by either glutaraldehyde or glyoxal vapor. The morphology, thermal behavior, swelling behavior, release characteristic, kinetics of drug release and also toxicity of the cross-linked sample were investigated.

전기방사는 휘발성 용매에 녹아있는 다양한 물질들을 마이크로 크기의 섬유로 제조하는데 사용되고 있다. 이번 연구에서는 물을 용매로 사용하여 pullulan을 전기 방사하였다. 부드러운 섬유를 얻기 위하여 pullulan 농도와 전압을 최적의 조건으로 설정하였다. Pullulan 농도는 pullulan 용액의 점도와 표면 장력에 큰 영향을 받는다. Bead 형태의 pullulan 전기방사 섬유는 5 wt%이하의 농도에서 얻어진다. Pullulan 용액의 농도가 10 wt%로 유지되고, 전압이 15 kV에 고정되었을 때, pullulan 섬유의 평균 직경은 200 nm로 감소하였다. Pullulan electrospun 섬유는 높은 용해도, 유연성, 부드러움과 강한 접착성을 보여준다.
