Description
Electrospinning of plant protein solutions to produce nanofibrous scaffolds for texture engineering.
Technical
The process requires a polymer concentration of 5–15 % w/v, an applied voltage of 10–30 kV, a flow rate of 0.1–1 mL h⁻¹, and a collector distance of 10–20 cm, typically at ambient temperature. Solvent evaporation and electrostatic forces drive jet formation, yielding fibers with diameters from 100 nm to 10 µm that mimic myofibrillar structure.
