(A) Fundamental schematic diagrams of electrospinning. (B) Schematic illustration of i) the construction process of the tri-layer scaffold and, ii) SEM images of the cross-section of the tri-layer scaffold, iii) high magnification image of the inner layer, middle layer, and outer layer, respectively.
