TL;DR: In this paper, an electrospinning method was used to fabricate bioabsorbable amorphous poly( d, l -lactic acid) (PDLA) and semi-crystalline poly( l-lactic acids) (PLLA) nanofiber non-woven membranes for biomedical applications.
1,779 citations
TL;DR: The materials, techniques and post modification methods to functionalize electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds suitable for biomedical applications are reviewed.
948 citations
TL;DR: This work represents the first successful demonstration of plasmid DNA incorporation into a polymer scaffold using electrospinning, and when tested under tensile loads, the electrospun polymer/DNA composite scaffolds exhibited tensile moduli values that approximate those of skin and cartilage.
793 citations
TL;DR: The combination of mechanical barriers based on non-woven nanofibrous biodegradable scaffolds and their capability for local delivery of antibiotics increases their desired utility in biomedical applications, particularly in the prevention of post-surgical adhesions and infections.
760 citations
TL;DR: Electrospinning is used to fabricate biodegradable non-woven poly(lactide)- and poly(glycolide)-based scaffolds for cardiac tissue engineering applications and concludes that engineered cardiac tissue structure and function can be modulated by the chemistry and geometry of the provided nano- and micro-textured surfaces.

TL;DR: Some of the science and technology being developed to improve the disinfection and decontamination of water, as well as efforts to increase water supplies through the safe re-use of wastewater and efficient desalination of sea and brackish water are highlighted.
Abstract: One of the most pervasive problems afflicting people throughout the world is inadequate access to clean water and sanitation. Problems with water are expected to grow worse in the coming decades, with water scarcity occurring globally, even in regions currently considered water-rich. Addressing these problems calls out for a tremendous amount of research to be conducted to identify robust new methods of purifying water at lower cost and with less energy, while at the same time minimizing the use of chemicals and impact on the environment. Here we highlight some of the science and technology being developed to improve the disinfection and decontamination of water, as well as efforts to increase water supplies through the safe re-use of wastewater and efficient desalination of sea and brackish water.
6,967 citations
