Electrospun polyamide‐6 membranes containing titanium dioxide as photocatalyst

Electrospun polyamide‐6 membranes containing titanium dioxide (TiO₂) photocatalyst were prepared and characterized. By tailoring the electrospinning parameters it was possible to obtain membranes having two different thicknesses, namely 5 and 20 µm, in which TiO₂ particles were homogeneously dispersed. As a comparison, hybrid films made with polyamide‐6 matrix and TiO₂ filler were successfully produced, with inorganic/organic ratios of 10 and 20 wt%. The photocatalytic activity of both hybrid systems was evaluated by following the degradation of methylene blue as a target molecule as a function of UV irradiation time. A smoother degradation was recorded for the electrospun membranes with respect to the hybrid films probably due to a less exposed surface because of the highly porous structure. Even if a longer photodegradation time was necessary, the degradation of the dye was successfully achieved. Copyright © 2010 Society of Chemical Industry     

Preparation and characterization of graphene oxide/poly(vinyl alcohol) composite nanofibers via electrospinning

Graphene oxide (GO) was well dispersed in poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) diluted aqueous solution, and then the mixture was electrospun into GO/PVA composite nanofibers. Electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy on the as‐prepared and calcined samples confirm the uniform distribution of GO sheets in the nanofibers. The thermal and mechanical properties of the nanofibers vary considerably with different GO filler contents. The decomposition temperatures of the GO/PVA composite nanofiber dropped by 38–50°C compared with pure PVA. A very small loading of 0.02 wt % GO increases the tensile strength of the nanofibers by 42 times. A porous 3D structure was realized by postcalcining nanofibers in H₂. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibers modified by quaternary ammonium salts

Electrospinning from a capillary is one of the methods for the production of nanofibers. The specific properties of such fibers result first of all from their large specific surface and the high porosity of the fiber mat. This article presents a process for producing functional nanofibers with antimicrobiological properties by electrospinning from polyacrylonitrile/dimethyl sulphoxide solution containing a bioactive agent based on quaternary ammonium salts (N, N, n, n,‐didecyl‐N,N‐dimethylammonium chloride, Bis‐(3‐aminopropyl)‐dodecylamine) and 2‐propanol. The structure of the nanofibers obtained and their antimicrobial activity are investigated. A 5 wt % addition of bioactive preparation to the polymer solution (concentration of active substance in solution about 1.5 wt %) makes it possible to obtain fibers showing good bactericidal properties. After 6 h in contact with these fibers, Escherichia coli are eliminated to a level of 99.84% and Staphylococcus aureus to 99.99%. The IR spectrophotometric measurements do not indicate a residue of solvent in the bioactive nanofibers and show an increase in content of CH and CH₂ groups in relation to the pure nanofibers, which is connected with the presence of the biocide. Their degree of crystallinity determined by the X‐ray scattering method is 44.4%. The nanofibers obtained can be designed for medical and filtration applications. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Electrospun fibrous membranes for efficient heavy metal removal

Heavy metal pollution is a growing environmental problem in recent decades, which requires immediate and urgent action. In this article, we provide an overview of the works published in the last decade concerning the development of electrospinning‐based micro‐ and nano‐porous membranes for efficient heavy metal removal. Apart from their super‐high surface‐to‐volume ratio, electrospun nanofibers possess a variety of surface groups which enable their further functionalization and functional nanoparticle incorporation. Compared to typical adsorbents, electrospun fibrous membranes are superior in many ways like higher permeation flux, lower pressure drop, flexible component adjustment, and even multi‐target adsorption. Therefore, electrospun‐based fibrous membranes hold great potential on the treatment of heavy metal contaminants. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2014 , 131, 40864.     

GO/Al2O3复合纳滤膜的制备及其稳定性能研究

以平均孔径为20 nm的Al₂O₃管式超滤膜为载体,经多巴胺改性后,利用压力驱动沉积法成功制备出能在水溶液中长期稳定的GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜,并通过改变负载量实现了对GO层厚的调控。结果表明,随错流时间的延长,不同GO负载量下GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜的纯水渗透系数均呈现先降低后稳定的趋势。且随着GO负载量的增加,稳态纯水渗透系数逐渐降低;当GO负载量增加到90 mg/m²后,GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜对一二价盐的渗透系数与截留率均无显著变化。同时,由于盐测试过程中残余的盐离子在GO片层间产生了交联作用,从而导致随着在纯水中存放时间的延长,不同GO负载量的GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜对一二价盐的截留率均呈上升趋势。GO负载量为140 mg/m²的GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜在水中浸泡680 h后对1 mmol/L Na₂SO₄的截留率可达到91.0%。GO/Al₂O₃复合纳滤膜对四种一二价盐的截留率满足：R(Na₂SO₄) > R(MgSO₄) > R(NaCl) > R(MgCl₂)。     

Electrospun polyvinyl alcohol/waterborne polyurethane composite nanofibers involving cellulose nanofibers

TEMPO‐oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCNs) were used as nanofillers in this work. Composite nanofibers of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/waterborne polyurethane (WPU) reinforced with TOCNs were produced by electrospinning. The reinforcing capability of TOCNs was investigated by tensile tests. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction, and thermogravimetry analyses were also carried out in order to characterize the appearance, crystallinity, and reinforcing effect of the cellulose nanofibers. SEM results showed that PVA/WPU/TOCNs composite nanofibers presented a highly homogeneous dispersion of TOCNs. The reinforced composites had about 44% increase in their mechanical properties with addition of only 5 wt % of TOCNs while about 42% decrease in elongation at break. The TOCNs reinforced composite nanofibers were more thermally stable than pure PVA/WPU nanofibers. The development of crystalline structure in the composite fibers was observed by XRD. Since PVA, WPU, and TOCNs are hydrophilic, non‐toxic, and biocompatible, and therefore, these nanocomposite nanofibers could be used for tissue scaffolding, filtration materials, and medical industries as wound dressing materials. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Characterization of CS/PVA/GO electrospun nanofiber membrane with astaxanthin

Tissue engineering has been widely used in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering scaffolds have become a new research direction for periodontal regenerative repair. We aim to develop a biological scaffold material that can support host immunity and promote periodontal regeneration. In this paper, chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/graphene oxide (GO)/astaxanthin (ASTA) nanofibers membranes were prepared by electrospinning. The nanofibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, mechanical testing, antibacterial testing and cytotoxicity testing. The CS/PVA/GO/ASTA nanofiber membrane had favorable micro-morphology, good mechanical properties and no cytotoxicity. This preliminary study demonstrates that the CS/PVA/GO/ASTA nanofiber membrane can be used for in vivo and in vitro experiments related to periodontal regeneration. The related mechanism of periodontal regeneration will be evaluated in future studies.     

Studies on the synthesis of electrospun PAN‐Ag composite nanofibers for antibacterial application

We have successfully synthesized polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers impregnated with Ag nanoparticles by electrospinning method at room temperature. Briefly, the PAN‐Ag composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning PAN (10% w/v) in dimethyl formamide (DMF) solvent containing silver nitrate (AgNO₃) in the amounts of 8% by weight of PAN. The silver ions were reduced into silver particles in three different methods i.e., by refluxing the solution before electrospinning, treating with sodium borohydride (NaBH₄), as reducing agent, and heating the prepared composite nanofibers at 160°C. The prepared PAN nanofibers functionalized with Ag nanoparticles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), SEM elemental detection X‐ray analysis (SEM‐EDAX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and ultraviolet‐visible spectroscopy (UV‐VIS) analytical techniques. UV‐VIS spectra analysis showed distinct absorption band at 410 nm, suggesting the formation of Ag nanoparticles. TEM micrographs confirmed homogeneous dispersion of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of PAN nanofibers, and particle diameter was found to be 5–15 nm. It was found that all the three electrospun PAN‐Ag composite nanofibers showed strong antibacterial activity toward both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. However, the antibacterial activity of PAN‐Ag composite nanofibers membrane prepared by refluxed method was most prominent against S. aureus bacteria. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Electrospun gelatin/nylon‐6 composite nanofibers for biomedical applications

We describe the preparation and characterization of gelatin‐containing nylon‐6 electrospun fibers and their potential use as a bioactive scaffold for tissue engineering. The physicochemical properties of gelatin/nylon‐6 composite nanofibers were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, TGA and contact angle and tensile measurements. FE‐SEM and TEM images revealed that the nanofibers were well oriented and showed a good incorporation of gelatin. FTIR spectroscopy and TGA also revealed that there was good interaction between the two polymers at the molecular level. The adhesion, viability and proliferation properties of osteoblast cells on the gelatin/nylon‐6 composite nanofibers were analyzed by an in vitro cell compatibility test. Our results suggest that the incorporation of gelatin can increase the cell compatibility of nylon‐6 and therefore the composite mat obtained has great potential in hard tissue engineering. © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry

Antibacterial antiadhesion membranes from silver‐nanoparticle‐doped electrospun poly(L‐lactide) nanofibers

Electrospun fibrous membranes have been used frequently in biomedical applications, but their simultaneous use as antibacterial agents and in the prevention of cell adhesion on repaired tendons after injury has not been investigated. In this study, silver‐nanoparticle (SN)‐loaded poly(L ‐lactide) (PLLA) fibrous membranes were prepared by the electrospinning of SNs into PLLA fibers. Micrograph results showed that these membranes were composed of electrospun fibers and that the fibers were incorporated with SNs. From the results of X‐ray diffraction and thermogravimetry, we concluded that the SNs were physically mixed into the fibers at the desired content. The mechanical properties were not significantly changed. The preliminary antibacterial effects on Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus and the synergistic antiproliferative effects of the SN‐loaded PLLA fibrous membranes were observed. Taken together, these results demonstrate that SNs can be directly loaded onto a biodegradable PLLA fibrous membrane via electrospinning to achieve proper material properties with preliminary potential as antibacterial antiadhesion barriers for tendon injury. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Preparation of Mineralized Electrospun Fibers as a Biomimetic Nanocomposite

Mineralization of gelatin electrospun nano and micro fiber was investigated in order to prepare a biomimetic bone nanocomposite. For this aim, at first, calcium containing gelatin nanofibers were electrospun by a novel ethanol/water/salt solution. Fibers with mean diameters varying from 300 to 3000 nm were acquired. Then, fiber mats were exposed to phosphate ions by soaking them in phosphate solution or laminating them between phosphate containing gelatin films. SEM micrographs demonstrated the presence of nano to micro sized minerals on gelatin fibers. FTIR and XRD results illustrated that the calcium phosphates in all samples are combinations of brushite and hydroxyapatite.     

Electrospun composite nanofibers of poly (vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene)/polyaniline‐polystyrene sulfonic acid

Nanofibers of poly(vinylidene fluoride‐trifluoroethylene)/polyaniline‐polystyrene sulfonic acid (PVDF‐TrFE/PANi‐PSSA) were fabricated in air at room temperature using electrospinning, with the thinnest fiber having a diameter of ～ 6 nm. This is a cheap, fast, and reliable process for generating PVDF‐TrFE/PANi‐PSSA composite nanofibers. The presence of conducting PANi‐PSSA increased the charge density of the solution and assisted in the fabrication of PVDF‐TrFE nanofibers at low polymer concentrations in dimethylformamide without the beading effect. Ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy showed that PANi‐PSSA was well incorporated into the PVDF‐TrFE solution with no polymer segregation or degradation. A scanning electron microscope was used for morphological characterization of the fibers and a profilometer used to determine the fiber diameter. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Controlling the Diameter of Electrospun Yttria‐Stabilized Zirconia Nanofibers

This work reports the precise diameter control of electrospun yttria‐stabilized zirconia (YSZ) nanofibers from 200 to 900 nm after calcination. Fabricated YSZ nanofibers showed porous nanocrystalline structures with high aspect ratios of more than 500:1 and high surface‐to‐volume ratios with a specific surface area of 43.32 m²/g. The diameter of the YSZ nanofibers increased with the viscosity of the precursor solution, which was controlled by the concentrations of either polymers (polyacrylonitrile) or ceramic precursors (YSZ). We present a modified correlation between the diameter of a nanofiber and the synthetic conditions, as the observed behavior for calcined ceramic nanofibers deviated from the expected behavior. Our results demonstrate a modified but simple approach to fabricate ceramic nanofibers with desired diameters, providing a new design guideline for many electrochemical applications.
