Multi-functional wet-electrospun piezoelectric nanofibers sensing mat: Manufacturing, characterization, and applications
Hassanin, A.H.; Elnabawy, E.; Salah, M.; Nair, R.; Omran, N.; Popelka, A.; Kandas, I.; Shehata, N.; Fahmy, Gamal, M... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier Ltd , 2023 , Article)This paper introduces the fabrication of multi-featured nanofibers membranes using wet-electrospinning process. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers were wet-electrospun onto poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) poly ... -
Optical fluorescent spider silk electrospun nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide nanoparticles
Kandas I.; Shehata N.; Hassounah I.; Sobol?iak P.; Krupa I.; Lewis R.... more authors ... less authors ( SPIE , 2018 , Article)The work demonstrates an electrospun nanocomposite of recombinant spider silk protein (rSSp) nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles. RSSP (MaSp1) has been produced, extracted from goat milk, and ... -
Piezoelastic PVDF/TPU nanofibrous composite membrane: Fabrication and characterization
Elnabawy E.; Hassanain A.H.; Shehata N.; Popelka A.; Nair R.; Yousef S.; Kandas I.... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI AG , 2019 , Article)Poly (vinylidene fluoride) nanofibers (PVDF NFs) have been extensively used in energy harvesting applications due to their promising piezoresponse characteristics. However, the mechanical properties of the generated fibers ... -
Piezoresponse, mechanical, and electrical characteristics of synthetic spider silk nanofibers
Shehata N.; Kandas I.; Hassounah I.; Sobol?iak P.; Krupa I.; Mrlik M.; Popelka A.; Steadman J.; Lewis R.... more authors ... less authors ( MDPI AG , 2018 , Article)This work presents electrospun nanofibers from synthetic spider silk protein, and their application as both a mechanical vibration and humidity sensor. Spider silk solution was synthesized from minor ampullate silk protein ... -
Spider silk fibers: Synthesis, characterization, and related biomedical applications
Shehata N.; Hassounah I.; Sobolciak P.; Krupa I.; Lewis R.; Kandas I.... more authors ... less authors ( Elsevier , 2019 , Book chapter)Compared to silkworm silks, spider silks (SS) are considered stronger, most elastic, and tougher biomaterials. Web-weaving spiders use impressive silks where the proteins in the silks can be described as virtually nondiverged. ...
