Combining electrospinning with hot drawing process to fabricate high performance poly (L-lactic acid) nanofiber yarns for advanced nanostructured bio-textiles

Fiber constructed yarns are the elementary building blocks for the generation of implantable biotextiles, and there are always needs for designing and developing new types of yarns to improve the properties of biotextile implants. In the present study, we aim to develop novel nanofiber yarns by combining nanostructure that more closely mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) fibrils of native tissues with biodegradability, strong mechanical...
