Unique aerodynamically driven methodology for forming droplets, threads to scaffolds

Jet‐based methodologies for forming droplets and threads leading to the fabrication of scaffolds are playing a pivotal role in materials science and engineering. These techniques are essentially interfacing engineering with the biological sciences. There are several routes for forming droplets, which are subsequently deposited with precision, namely, ink‐jet printing to electrospraying. Fabricating threads/fibers sized from the nano‐ to the micrometer range are generally carried out by means of electrospinning. These three processes are well‐established and have been explored to a great extend. In this article, we have shown a unique processing technology completely driven by a pressure difference over an orifice possessing the ability to form droplets, threads to scaffolds. Hence, this process now joins the microfabrication race alongside its competing technologies, in the hope to undergo a rapid developmental program arming itself for competing with its rival technologies.
