Work data for: "Electrospinning of peptides"

Electrospinning is a versatile fabrication technique used to produce nanofibrous materials by applying a high electric field to polymer or biopolymer solutions. Owing to its ability to generate architectures that closely mimic the natural extracellular matrix, electrospinning has been widely adopted in biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, and wound healing. However, the direct electrospinning of peptides remains challenging due to their low molecular weight and insufficient chain entanglement, which are essential for the formation of continuous fibers. To address these limitations, approaches including peptide self-assembly, blending with high–molecular-weight polymers, and optimization of electrospinning parameters have been developed. Recent advances in electrospinning technologies, particularly multi-material electrospinning strategies, have further expanded the capability to incorporate functional components into nanofibrous scaffolds, as highlighted in the study “Multi-material electrospinning: from methods to biomedical applications.
