Additive Manufacturing Enabled by Electrospinning for Tougher Bio-Inspired Materials by Komal Agarwal, Yinning Zhou, Hashina Parveen Anwar Ali, Ihor Radchenko, Avinash Baji, Arief S. Budiman

“…Free amino groups (NH2) were introduced on the surface of the fibres and membrane via surface treatment to increase the interaction and adhesion among the different layers of membranes. We believe that this represents a preliminary feasibility in our attempt to mimic the 3D helicoidal architectures at small scales, and we still have room to improve further using even smaller fibre sizes of the modeled architectures. …”
