Fabrication and characterization of dextran/zein hybrid electrospun fibers with tailored properties for controlled release of curcumin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of various zein concentrations on the properties of the hybrid electrospun fibers were investigated, and the homogenous dispersion of dextran and zein resulted in improved mechanical properties for fibers electro-spun from a solution with 30% zein.
