Özet

Electrospun patches have attracted interest in different biomedical fields, including tissue engineering and drug delivery. Portable electrospinning guns promise faster and more practical interventions in these areas. In this article, the design, construction and testing of a portable electrospinning gun are described to produce fiber and particle products. Results were discussed depending on the electrospinning gun's working system and properties of the products. The electrospinning gun system could have a high voltage of up to 30 kV. Also, no heating problems were encountered during high voltage values. Due to the uniformity, reproducibility and tunability of the produced PCL and PMSQ fibers, it can be said that electrospinning gun can be used in nanotechnology, drug delivery systems and wound dressing applications.
