Evaluating the efficacy of uniformly designed square mesh resin 3D printed scaffolds in directing the orientation of electrospun PCL nanofibers
Get PDFReplicating the architecture of extracellular matrices (ECM) is crucial in tissue engineering to support tissues’ natural structure and functionality. The ECM’s structure plays a significant role in directing cell alignment. Electrospinning is an effective technique for fabricating nanofibrous substrates that mimic the architecture of extracellular matrices (ECM). This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of resin 3D-printed scaffolds made from a low-conductivity material (i.e., a resin composed of methacrylated oligomers, monomers, and photoinitiators) in directing the alignment of electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers. Six 3D-printed scaffolds were fabricated using stereolithography (SLA) technology and strategically positioned on an aluminum foil collector plate during electrospinning. The structured geometry of the scaffolds, rather than the local electric field distribution, is hypothesized to guide nanofiber alignment. Images acquired through the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze and statistically quantify the nanofibrous scaffolds to evaluate the alignment of nanofibers over the scaffolds compared to a set of randomly deposited control nanofiber samples in the absence of the 3D printed scaffolds. SEM images also showed significant alignment of nanofibers within the pores of scaffolds, using histograms as a means for indicating the distribution of orientation angles. Statistical analysis revealed that this distribution deviates from normality due to the deviations in the tails and the existence of relatively smaller peaks at angles relative to 0°, particularly within a range of ± 50° and ± 40°. It is further found that the average peak orientation angle relative to 0° had a maximum probability of 0.014. Furthermore, the statistical analysis confirmed the distribution and significant differences in orientation between test samples with 3D-printed scaffolds and control samples. These findings demonstrate the effectiveness of resin 3D-printed scaffolds, particularly their geometric filtering effect, leading to controlled nanofiber alignment, which is proposed to be beneficial for enhancing cell adhesion, proliferation, and cell migration in tissue engineering applications
Examining Loyalty and Situational Value in Green Retail and Service Establishments
Get PDFThis research sheds light on how loyalty and situational value can enhance consumers ’ willingness to pay a higher price (WTPHP) for green products. While loyalty is a function of the individual characteristics of a certain Consumer, which match the characteristics of an Object, “situational” value is a function of a certain Consumer, a certain Object, and a certain Situation. Across two studies, we show that (1) loyalty has an effect on WTPHP that is mediated by reason and (2) situational value has an effect on WTPHP mediated by both emotion and reason. We conclude with discussions and managerial implications
