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 ...
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 ...
Polymer-based electrospun nanofibers for biomedical applications
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article Review)
Electrospinning has been considered a promising and novel procedure to fabricate polymer nanofibers due to its simplicity, cost effectiveness, and high production rate, making this technique highly relevant for both industry ...
Development of titanium dioxide nanowire incorporated poly(vinylidene fluoride–trifluoroethylene) scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
Critical size bone defects that do not heal spontaneously are among the major reasons for the disability in majority of people with locomotor disabilities. Tissue engineering has become a promising approach for repairing ...

(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
The effect of electrospinning operational parameters on the morphology, surface roughness, and wettability of different compositions of electrospun polystyrene (PS)-aluminum oxide (Al2O3) nanocomposite coatings was ...
Engineering of magnetically separable ZnFe2O4@ TiO2 nanofibers for dye-sensitized solar cells and removal of pollutant from water
(
Elsevier
, 2017 , Article)
Abstract In this study, magnetic Zinc Ferrite (ZnFe2O4)@TiO2 nanofibers were prepared by low cost and nontoxic route; hydrothermal technique followed by electrospinning process. The prepared magnetic ZnFe2O4@TiO2 nanofibers ...
Applicable anode based on Co3O4–SrCO3 heterostructure nanorods-incorporated CNFs with low-onset potential for DUFCs
(
Springer
, 2017 , Article)
Besides the high-current density, lower onset potential of urea electrooxidation is key parameter which influences the direct urea fuel cell performance. In the present article, low-onset potential has been reported for ...
