The invention concerns a method for producing a carbon fibre, that comprises a step of preparing a continuous fibre made of cellulose from cotton fabrics, by extracting, from these fabrics, cotton in the form of short, discontinuous fibres, and implementing a solvent spinning process; this step being followed by a step of carbonising said obtained continuous fibre made from cellulose, in order to form a carbon fibre. This carbon fibre can be used, in particular, for producing articles made from composite material made from carbon fibres and polymer organic resin.

Disclosed herein is a hybrid polymeric material comprising a tropoelastin and a copolymer of a polyol monomer and a polycarboxylic acid monomer. The hybrid polymeric material is suitable for use as a tissue scaffold.

The present invention belongs to the field of functional fibrous materials, and discloses a magnetic fibrous material and a preparation method and application thereof. A polymer and a magnetic load raw material are dissolved in a solvent to obtain a uniform spinning solution; a solute component that reacts with the magnetic load raw material is added into a coagulation bath solvent to obtain a reactive coagulation bath solution; the spinning solution is electrospun, and the produced fiber is collected with the reactive coagulation bath solution, so that the magnetic load raw material in the fiber reacts in situ with the solute in the reactive coagulation bath solution to obtain the magnetic fibrous material.

A method of producing an osteoinductive bone graft formed of a plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers is disclosed. The method includes preparing a fibrous scaffold material formed of the plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers, wherein the plurality of electrospun biodegradable fibers are entangled with each other to form a cotton-wool like structure having inter-fiber spaces forming a microenvironment for cell growth therein, and immersing the fibrous scaffold in a solution containing BMP-2 so that the BMP-2 is bound to the calcium particles exposed on the surface of the fibers. Area of binding site for BMP-2 on calcium particles exposed on a surface of the electrospun biodegradable fibers is adjusted by an amount of the calcium particles contained in the electrospun biodegradable fibers.
