Quantitatively Controlled Fabrication of Uniaxially Aligned Nanofibrous Scaffold for Cell Adhesion

Figure 2

Comparison between results of the inclined and the planar gap collection: photographs of the fiber arrays suspended on (a) the inclined gap collector and (b) the planar gap collector. Histograms of angle distribution of fiber alignment in the arrays transferred from (c) the inclined gap collector and (d) the planar gap collector. Homogeneous fiber arrays collected from the inclined gap by (e) single transfer and (f) 3 transfers. Inhomogeneous fiber arrays collected from the planar gap by (g) single transfer and (h) 3 transfers. Arrows indicate the inhomogeneous conditions of the fiber distributions. The scale bars are 10 mm (a, b) and 100 μm (e)–(h), respectively.
