Production of Spinnerets for Microfluidic Spinning of Biocompatible Microfibers with In-situ Direct Laser Writing

Matthias Geiger, , RWTH Aachen University

A method for the production of spinnerets for microfluidic wet-spinning of micron-sized fibers has been developed. Biocompatible, mechanically strong microfibers suitable for cell culture were produced from regenerated silk with precise diameter control.
