I am looking for possible reason why some organic acids are successful for collagen electrospinning and others are not exploited at all, as food grade solvent is a concern. Some explanation for possible criteria of selection of solvent.
If you see the basic structure of collagen (from several references available online) you too can understand that citric acid is ideal for electrospinning of collagen. To explain this here, there will be paucity of space as it involves a lot of basic biochemistry.
Well, I found a very nice article, which is using acetic acid " Engineering of a Stable Collagen Nanofibrous Scaffold with Tunable Fiber Diameter, Alignment, and Mechanical Properties". I think that the idea to use citric acid is very good as it is a non toxic solvent. Good luck
Dear sir Jai Ghosh, if possible could you please put some references or titles that could strengthen my understandings of the logic for possibility of electrospinning of collagen. Looking forward to have some more feedback.thanks
