Electrospinning is a simple and adaptable method for generating nanofibers. Due to the instability of the electrified polymer jet, polymer nanofibers are usually collected in random, tangled orientations. Alignment of nanofibers would have practical applications for use as cardiac tissue which have cells that grow in an aligned manner, as well as for neural tissue engineering as guidance channels. Three wt% poly(L-lactic acid) in hexafluoro-2proponol was mixed in a 95/5 ratio with Fe3O4 nanoparticles in ethanol. Solutions were sonicated, and then vortexed for one min and electruspun, with a grounded plane being cable wire with 60 amps of current running through the wires to create a magnetic field. In vitro cellular uptake was analyzed with PC12 cells and Schwann cells. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) photos show the cells moving, attaching and growing in the direction of the general fiber orientation. Fiber morphology was analyzed using SEM and mechanical strength was tested in the longitudinal and transverse directions using a nanotensile tester.
