Rostképzés

Rostképzés is a Hungarian term describing the formation or development of fibrous structures. The concept is used across several disciplines to refer to how fibers arise, organize, and mature in a material or organism.

In biology, rostképzés can refer to the development of fibrous connective tissue, such as collagen networks in skin, tendons, and wounds, as well as the remodeling of extracellular matrix during growth and repair. In botany, plant fiber formation occurs in sclerenchyma and secondary walls, contributing to mechanical strength.

In textiles and materials science, rostképzés describes processes by which fibrous microstructures are generated and solidified from polymer solutions, melts, or biopolymers. Common methods include melt spinning, solution spinning (wet or dry-jet), electrospinning, and phase-separation-based approaches. Key factors are polymer concentration, temperature, shear, solvent interactions, and drawing that influence fiber diameter, crystallinity, and mechanical properties.

Applications of fibrous structures span textiles, fiber-reinforced composites, filtration media, and biomedical scaffolds where fibrous networks mimic natural extracellular matrix. Research often focuses on controlling fiber diameter distribution, orientation, and interfacial bonding in composites, as well as environmental sustainability and biocompatibility.
