Dispersion and release of embelin from electrospun, biodegradable, polymeric membranes

Functionalized and Electrospun Polymeric Materials as High-Performance Membranes for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell: A Review

Proton exchange membranes (PEM) for a direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) have main drawbacks which are methanol permeability, reduced proton conductivity and the cost of the membrane. This paper reviews different polymeric materials such as fluorinated, non-fluorinated, acid-base complex, and composite membranes for DMFC. Currently, nonfluorinated membranes gain a lot of atte...

Biodegradable polymeric microcapsules for selective ultrasound-triggered drug release

Synthesis and characterization of the electrospun fibers prepared from waste polymeric materials

Recently, the demands for the production of many different types of plastic wastes are greatly growing that subsequently, lead to the serious challenges in environmental considerations. Since, these materials are rarely resolved by microorganisms, hence, their recycling to the useful materials is crucial. In the present study, we used a solution electrospinning technique to synthesize nano/micr...

Preparation, Characterization and Release of Urea from Wheat Gluten Electrospun Membranes

Homogeneous and thin porous membranes composed of oriented fibers were obtained from wheat gluten (WG) using the electrospinning technique. SEM micrographs showed an asymmetric structure and some porosity, which, in addition to a small thickness of 40 μm, are desirable characteristics for the membranes’ potential application in release systems. The membranes were loaded with urea to obtain past...
