Composite Nanofiber

Caption

This shows the dynamic transition in a fibrous biomaterial composed of tunable fractions of structural (red) and water-soluble, sacrificial (green) electrospun polymeric nanofibers. The image was captured as fluid entered from right to left, dissolving sacrificial fibers and creating a more open fibrous network.
