23 Jul SCAFFOLD COMPRISING BUCKLED FIBERS
Abstract
The invention relates to a method for making a buckled fiber, comprising a) depositing at least one fiber on a surface of a shrinkable material, which material is shrinkable in at least one direction, wherein the deposited fiber at least partially adheres to the shrinkable material; and b) shrinking the shrinkable material in at least one direction, thereby buckling the fiber. Furthermore, methods to make a buckled fiber mesh by buckling one or more layers comprising a multitude of fibers are also disclosed. A buckled fiber and a buckled fiber mesh as described can be used in a variety of applications, among which tissue engineering, filtering, catalytic materials and textiles.
