Fabrication of ordered konjac glucomannan microfiber arrays via facile microfluidic spinning method

The exploration of methods to produce biocompatible materials in ultrasmall scales is of great scientific and technological interest. We reported a microfluidic spinning technology (MST) for fabrication of microfibers with a novel biocompatible material, konjac glucomannan (KGM) as the main material combined with sodium polyacrylate (PAAS). These as-produced KGM/PAAS microfibers are consistent and uniform in size with an average width of 100 μm....
