Electrospinning is a widely investigated and used technique for creating nano and microfibres which has a wide range of medical and pharmaceutical applications. For cell culturing and tissue engineering it is a greatly investigated method because it resembles the extracellular matrix. Changing the electrospinning parametres we affect the properties of these systems to fine tune it for our needs. To create a high porosity fibrous mesh for culturing different cells in a suitable three dimensional way, we need to step forward from conventional electrospinning. My aim was to find a reproducible way of creating three dimensional fluffy structures from polysuccinimide which is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer, in the presence of different concentrations of LiCl, MgCl2 and CalCl2 in the solution.
Ion-ion and ion-solvent (dimethylformamide) interactions were characterised using vibration spectroscopy and quantum calculations. Also, structural changes of the fibrous mesh by macroscopic and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) images were recorded.
CaCl2, MgCl2 and LiCl were identified as salts that promote fluffy structure upon mixing in polysuccinimide-dimethylformamide solutions used for electrospinning. FTIR and computational investigation showed that there is a strong interaction between their respective ionic components and the solvent. Furthermore, according to our data the most important thing is the quality of the salt and through that its interaction with the solvent used for electrospinning.
