Fiber thickness, water contact angle and mechanical properties of electrospun DegraPol® and emulsion electrospun DegraPol®/Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) fiber meshes

We present data assessed for the characterization of electrospun random fiber meshes, composed either of pure Degrapol® fibers or of emulsion electrospun Degrapol® fibers with incorporated IGF-1 protein (a water-in-oil emulsion). Fiber thickness, static and dynamic water contact angles as well as ultimate tensile stress, Young’s modulus and strain at break in the transverse direction (either as ring or as a rectangular piece) and in the axial direction (as a rectangular piece) of originally tubular electrospun meshes are presented. The anisotropy of the electrospun tubes can be verified with the mechanical data sets.
