Category: Nanofibers
Nanofibers are fibers that have a diameter of less than 100 nanometers. They can be assembled to form nanofiber meshes and have a range of applications, including tissue engineering. The following papers discuss work that utilize Harrick Plasma equipment to enhance the seeding of nanofibers with human osteoblast and endothelial cells.
