Fluorescent Nanocomposite of Embedded Ceria Nanoparticles in Crosslinked PVA Electrospun Nanofibers

This paper introduces a new fluorescent nanocomposite of electrospun biodegradable nanofibers embedded with optical nanoparticles. In detail, this work introduces the fluorescence properties of PVA nanofibers generated by the electrospinning technique with embedded cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles. Under near-ultra violet excitation, the synthesized nanocomposite generates a visible fluoresce...

Embedded Ceria Nanoparticles in Crosslinked PVA Electrospun Nanofibers as Optical Sensors for Radicals

This work presents a new nanocomposite of cerium oxide (ceria) nanoparticles embedded in electrospun PVA nanofibers for optical sensing of radicals in solutions. Our ceria nanoparticles are synthesized to have O-vacancies which are the receptors for the radicals extracted from peroxide in water solution. Ceria nanoparticles are embedded insitu in PVA solution and then formed as nanofibers using...

Crosslinked Electrospun Poly (Vinyl Alcohol) Nanofibers Coated by Antibacterial Copper Nanoparticles

Comparison of cell behavior on pva/pva-gelatin electrospun nanofibers with random and aligned configuration

Electrospinning technique is able to create nanofibers with specific orientation. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) have good mechanical stability but poor cell adhesion property due to the low affinity of protein. In this paper, extracellular matrix, gelatin is incorporated into PVA solution to form electrospun PVA-gelatin nanofibers membrane. Both randomly oriented and aligned nanofibers are used to ...

Assembly of DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles on electrospun nanofibers as a fluorescent sensor for nucleic acids.

A facile approach was developed to assemble DNA-functionalized gold nanoparticles on the electrospun nanofibers. This novel nanocomposite was successfully applied to constructing a highly sensitive and selective fluorescent sensor for nucleic acids.
