Spining of Micro gelatin fibers for fabrication of biodevices with cave

Abstract

Gelatin has unique properties. The form is changed by temperature. In addition, the melting point is around 37 degree C. For these reasons, gelatin is useful for biofabrication. We are able to fabricate biodevices of biomaterials with cave utilizing gelatin. In this study, we spun gelatin fibers utilizing three methods. We were able to fabricate micro gelatin fibers which diameter was 20~200 μm. Each methods have merits and demerits. Therefore, utilizing three methods, we were able to fabricate complex structures of micro gelatin fibers.
