Investigation of the physico-mechanical properties of electrospun PVDF/cellulose nanofibers.
(
Wiley
, 2016 , Article)
The electro-activity and mechanical properties of PVDF depends mainly on the b-phase content and degree of crystallinity. In this study, cellulose fibers were used to improve these characteristics. This could be achieved ...
Nickel oxide carbon nanofiber composite for electrochemical oxidation of methanol
(
Electrochemical Society Inc.
, 2014 , Conference Paper)
Electrospun fibers of a mixture of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), polyaniline (PANI) and graphene were stabilized for 2 h at 200 °C and then carbonized at 800 °C for 5 h. Composites were prepared by depositing Ni(OH)2 on the ...
Photoimmobilization of zwitterionic polymers on surfaces to reduce cell adhesion
(
Academic Press Inc.
, 2017 , Article)
Simple and robust methods for modifying hydrophobic polymer surfaces with zwitterionic polymers using UV irradiation were developed. Two random zwitterionic copolymers consisting of either carboxybetaine or sulfobetaine ...
Optical fluorescent spider silk electrospun nanofibers with embedded cerium oxide nanoparticles
(
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 ...
PVA/chitosan/silver nanoparticles electrospun nanocomposites: Molecular relaxations investigated by modern broadband dielectric spectroscopy
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
In this study, we used broadband dielectric spectroscopy to analyze polymer nanofibers of poly(vinyl alcohol)/chitosan/silver nanoparticles. We also studied the effect of incorporating silver nanoparticles in the polymeric ...
Preparation and characterization of wollastonite/titanium oxide nanofiber bioceramic composite as a future implant material
(
Elsevier
, 2016 , Article)
In this study, novel composites consisting of electrospun titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanofibers incorporated into high-purity wollastonite glass ceramics were prepared as materials for use in hard tissue engineering applications. ...
Recent advances in electrospun polycaprolactone based scaffolds for wound healing and skin bioengineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Electrospun poly(-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds incorporated with bioactive materials play a key role in tissue engineering applications due to their extra cellular matrix (ECM) mimicking property, biocompatibility and ...
Humidity sensor based on electrospun MEH-PPV:PVP microstructured composite
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2016 , Article)
The present study demonstrates a solution-processed humidity sensor based on poly[2-methoxy-5-(2-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene]:polyvinylpyrrolidone (MEH-PPV:PVP) organic microstructured composite thin film. The ...
Reduction in piezoelectric voltage generation for the cerium doped nickel ferrite nanoparticles filled PVDF-HFP nanocomposites
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
This paper describes the synthesis of grape cluster shaped nickel ferrite (NiFe 2 O 4 ) and cerium doped nickel ferrite (Ce-NiFe 2 O 4 ) nanoparticles by chemical co-precipitation and their addition to poly(vinylidene ...
Electrospun PET-PU scaffolds for vascular tissue engineering
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2015 , Conference Paper)
The incidence of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) is projected to continuously increase in the coming decades, with a colossal associated cost of treatment. In the US alone, 83.6 million people are estimated to have one or ...
