Abstract
A system and methods for producing a structure including a plurality of fibers is provided. The system includes a polymer collector having a predefined pattern, wherein the collector is charged at a first polarity, and a spinneret configured to dispense a polymer, wherein the spinneret is charged at a second polarity substantially opposite the first polarity such that polymer dispensed from the spinneret forms a plurality of fibers on the predefined pattern of the fiber collector.
Claims8
A method for producing a structure for use in repairing a defect in a substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a first layer formed by a plurality of polymeric fibers;
- providing a second layer formed by a plurality of polymeric fibers, the second layer having a plurality of densities;
- and
- coupling the first layer and the second layer together using a first coupling process such that the first and second layers are configured to separate after at least one of a predetermined time and an environmental condition.
