Its use in the fabrication of nano\/micro fibrous membranes as scaffolds for tissue engineering has increased rapidly in recent years due to its efficiency and reproducibility. The objective of this study is to show how the use of the same polymeric solution (polycaprolactone 9% w\/v in chloroform: isopropanol 50:50) and identical electrohydrodynamic deposition parameters produces fibers with different characteristics using a flat collector platform with movements in the X and Y axes vs. a conventional rotary collector. The manufactured nano\/microfibers show significant differences in most of their characteristics (morphology, roughness, hydrophilicity, and mechanical properties). Regarding the diameter and porosity of the fibers, the results were similar. Given that scaffolds must be designed to guarantee adequate survival and the proliferation and migration of a certain cell type, in this study we analyze how the variations in the characteristics of the fibers obtained are essential to defining their potential application.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/membranes12060563","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,29]],"date-time":"2022-05-29T23:43:03Z","timestamp":1653867783000},"page":"563","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Characterization of Electrospun Poly(\u03b5-caprolactone) Nano\/Micro Fibrous Membrane as Scaffolds in Tissue Engineering: Effects of the Type of Collector Used"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3892-8042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dianney","family":"Clavijo-Grimaldo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"},{"name":"School of Medicine, Fundaci\u00f3n Universitaria Sanitas, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ciro Alfonso","family":"Casadiego-Torrado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Fundaci\u00f3n Universitaria Sanitas, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan","family":"Villalobos-El\u00edas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9950-7084","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Adolfo","family":"Ocampo-P\u00e1ramo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1404-1431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magreth","family":"Torres-Parada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Medicine, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogot\u00e1 111321, Colombia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2941","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biomaterials.2008.04.023","article-title":"On the mechanisms of biocompatibility","volume":"29","author":"Williams","year":"2008","journal-title":"Biomaterials"},{"key":"ref_2","first-page":"589","article-title":"Challenges in tissue engineering.
