Abstract

This work describes a versatile electrospinning equipment with rapid, independent, and precise x-y-z movements for large-area depositions of electrospun fibers, direct writing or assembly of fibers into sub-millimeter and micron-sized patterns, and printing of 3D micro- and nanostructures. Its versatility is demonstrated thought the preparation of multilayered functional nanofibers for wound healing, nanofiber mesh for particle filtration, high-aspect ratio printed lines, and freestanding aligned nanofibers.
