Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffolds: From Laboratory Invention to USPTO Patent Translation
The journey of fabricating scalable sub-micron fiber mats with antimicrobial efficacy and mechanical resilience for chronic wound care and tissue regeneration.
Electrospinning utilizes strong electrostatic fields to draw continuous sub-micron polymeric filaments from solution. The resulting nonwoven fibrous mats boast exceptionally high surface-area-to-volume ratios and interconnected porosity that closely recapitulates the natural architecture of the human extracellular matrix (ECM).
7 Granted USPTO Patents and Translation
Our work resulted in 7 granted United States patents covering multilayered nanofiber architectures, composite functional coatings, and scalable manufacturing protocols.
“Incorporating phyto-active extracts and silver nanoparticles into nanofiber meshes accelerates chronic diabetic wound healing up to threefold in pre-clinical studies.”
