Abstract:
Provided is a nanofiber based composite false twist yarn that is obtained by producing a nanofiber tape yarn by precisely slitting a nanofiber membrane produced by electrospinning and then twisting a nanofiber-only twist yarn that is obtained by twisting the nanofiber tape yarn or composite-twisting a nanofiber-only twist yarn and a natural fiber or synthetic fiber. The nanofiber based composite false twist yarn includes: a nanofiber tape yarn including at least one bonding portion or a false twist yarn which is obtained by false twisting the nanofiber tape yarn; and a natural fiber yarn or a synthetic fiber yarn that is composite-false-twisted with the nanofiber tape yarn or the false twist yarn, wherein the nanofiber tape yarn is made of a nanofiber web that is obtained by integrating polymer nanofibers made of a fiber-forming polymer material and having an average diameter of less than 1 μm thereby having fine pores.
Abstract:
A yarn including a plurality of twists formed by twisting single fiber strand or multiple fiber strands; and fiber grooves, which are spaces formed between the twists, to provide three-dimensional growth spaces and migration paths for cells. Accordingly, a cell proliferation rate and cell viability may be enhanced by creating microenvironments suitable for migration, proliferation and differentiation of cultured cells. In addition, cell clusters having more uniform shapes may be easily implemented by forming the proliferation spaces and migration paths for the cultured cells as similar as possible to each other in each scaffold. Further, the cells cultured thereby can be cultured in a suitable shape and structure to be applied to an in vitro experimental model or transplanted into the body of an animal, and can be widely applied in various products used in a cell culture or tissue engineering field.

Provided is a nanofiber composite membrane for guided bone regeneration, which includes: spinning a spinning solution by an electrospinning method to produce nanofibers; accumulating the nanofibers, to prepare a certain thickness of a nanofiber web; and drying and thermally calendering the nanofiber web to sterilize the nanofiber web, wherein the spinning solution contains a biocompatible plasticizer to maintain physical properties, flexibility and elasticity of the membrane, by suppressing an increase in brittleness in a sterilization treatment.
Abstract:
This disclosure provides a three-dimensional (3D) microenvironment presenting defined biochemical and physical cues that regulate cellular behavior and use of the microenvironment. A composition to form the 3D microenvironment is provided by combining one or more natural or synthetic polymeric materials and substrate proteins recombinantly or chemically functionalized with a variety of bioactive peptides such as extracellular matrix-derived or growth factor-derived peptides. The disclosure also provides for devices and methods for screening for optimal combinations of the bioactive motifs in order to create an extracellular microenvironment that can regulate specific cellular behavior such as cell growth, proliferation, migration or differentiation.

Provided is a cartridge filter using nanofiber composite fiber yarn, the cartridge filter including: a core having a plurality of holes through which a liquid passes; and a filter medium wound around the core to collect an object to be filtered contained in the liquid, wherein the filter medium comprises composite fiber yarn in which a nanofiber web which is produced by accumulating nanofibers produced by an electrospinning method is laminated to a porous nonwoven fabric, to thus provide excellent durability and improved filtration performance.
Abstract:
Provided is a cosmetic sheet formed from nanofiber that is obtained by preparing a spinning solution that is formed by dissolving a water-soluble polymer material together with a functional material in a solvent of water or alcohol, and electrospinning the spinning solution wherein the nanofiber has a controlled dissolution velocity and has fine pores. The water-soluble nanofiber layer can control a dissolution velocity by moisture or mist through crosslinking. The attached cosmetic sheet is a soluble melt-type such that the cosmetic sheet is naturally melted and absorbed into the skin, thereby being used in everyday life without having to be removed separately, and having excellent thin and adhesive properties.

The electroprocessed composition may also be combined with other molecules in order to deliver substances to the site of application or implantation of the electroprocessed composition.
Abstract:
Provided is yarn for a cell culture scaffold. The yarn for a cell culture scaffold according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes slitting yarn produced by cutting a compressed nanofiber web to a predetermined width. Accordingly, by creating microenvironments suitable for migration, proliferation and differentiation of cells, cell viability may be enhanced and cells may be three-dimensionally proliferated. In addition, a scaffold according to the present invention has a mechanical strength sufficient for prevention of disruption of the scaffold which occurs during cell culture, such that cells may be stably proliferated. Further, the scaffold according to the present invention uses slitting yarn formed of the compressed nanofiber web, thereby having pores with various sizes, and therefore cell proliferation and cell viability may be enhanced by creation of an extracellular matrix-like environment.
