Nanomaterials in Tissue Engineering

This lecture covers the use of micro- and nano-materials in tissue engineering, focusing on scaffold construction, fiber bonding techniques, solvent casting, and particulate leaching methods. It discusses the production of nanofiber scaffolds, control of mechanical properties, biodegradation, and rapid prototyping techniques. The lecture also explores the importance of scaffold materials, hydrogel properties, and the creation of tubular tissues with layered structures. Additionally, it delves into the enhancement of electrical properties in scaffolds through the use of nanoparticles and magnetic forces for cell alignment.
