Abstract

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. Also, these microfibers can easily arrange to microarrays and microgrids, facilely forming a useful platform for molecules recognition of amines. Moreover, the nontoxicity of KGM developed an ofloxacin loaded KGM microfibers present potential application in wound dressing. This strategy contributes a facile pathway on the construction of biomaterial microfibers by using polysaccharides as the precursors.
