Electrospun nanofibers with controllable degrees of crimping are fabricated by simply exposing the samples to a plasticizer at preset shrinkage ratios. Compared with their straight counterparts, the crimped nanofibers are able to mechanically mimic native tendon tissue and better protect tendon fibroblasts under uniaxial strains.
通过简单地将样品以预设的收缩率暴露于增塑剂中，制备出具有可控卷曲度的电纺纳米纤维。与直的纳米纤维相比，卷曲的纳米纤维能够在机械性能上模拟天然肌腱组织，并在单轴应变下更好地保护肌腱成纤维细胞。
