Dissolution characterization of drug eluting NFs. (a) Dissolution rate of NF fabricated with partially hydrolyzed and fully hydrolyzed PVA. (b) Dissolution over time of partially hydrolyzed NFs infused with drug mimicking dies (Red for vancomycin and Blue for linezolid). (c) Proportion of material dissolved by critical time of 10 min (< 3% total treatment duration) for NFs in liquid and gel media. (d) Comparison of time needed to achieve critical dissolution of blue dye (linezolid) NFs in buffer solution with different pH levels. Error bars denote standard deviation.
