Abstract

Parallelized nanofibrous structures are commonly used in medical sector, especially for the ophthalmological implants. In this research self-fabricated device is tested for improved collection and twisting of the parallel nanofibers. Previously manual techniques are used to collect the nanofibers and then twist is given, where as in our device different parameters can be optimized to obtained parallel nanofibers and further twisting can be given. The device is used to bring automation to the technique of achieving parallel fibrous structures for medical applications.
