Sputtering of electrospun polymer-based nanofibers for biomedical applications: A perspective
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article Review)
Electrospinning has gained wide attention recently in biomedical applications. Electrospun biocompatible scaffolds are well-known for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering ...
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 ...
Physico-Mechanical Properties of New Electrospun Polyvinylidene Fluoride Nanocomposites
(2015 , Master Thesis)
This study aimed to prepare and characterize poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibres with the following additives: graphene oxide (GO), cellulose, and silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs). Two types of solvents were used to ...
NEW SULFUR-DOPED CARBON FIBER – SUPPORTED ALLOYS FOR ELECTROCATALYTIC REDUCTION OF OXYGEN FOR PEM FUEL CELLS APPLICATIONS
(2018 , Master Thesis)
The daily increase in the world needs for new sources of energy, the population and economy growth, and the industrial expansions made the demand for new sources of energy a critical request within different societies. ...
CARBON BASED CONDUCTIVE FIBERS FOR FUEL CELL APPLICATION
(2018 , Master Thesis)
A novel catalyst consists of a group of metals (Ni, Co and Cu) deposited on carbon fiber support and was prepared for oxidation using methanol and ethanol in alkaline medium. The carbon fiber support was fabricated by ...
CTGF Loaded Electrospun Dual Porous Core-Shell Membrane For Diabetic Wound Healing
(
Dove Medical Press Ltd.
, 2019 , Article)
Purpose: Impairment of wound healing is a major issue in type-2 diabetes that often causes chronic infections, eventually leading to limb and/or organ amputation. Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a signaling ...
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 ...
