Preparation of anti-bacterial biocomposite nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning method

Electrospun Metallic Nanofibers Fabricated by Electrospinning and Metallization

Nanofibers of cellulose and its derivatives fabricated using direct electrospinning.

A short review with 49 references describes the electrospinninng (ES) process for polysaccharides, cellulose and chitosan, and their derivatives, including cellulose acetate and hydroxypropyl cellulose. A majority of applied studies adopted a two step-process, in which the cellulose acetate was used for the first ES process, followed by acetyl group removal to regenerate cellulose thin fibers. ...

Nanocomposite ZnO–SnO2 Nanofibers Synthesized by Electrospinning Method

We report the characterization of mixed oxides nanocomposite nanofibers of (1 - x) ZnO-(x)SnO2 (x ≤ 0.45) synthesized by electrospinning technique. The diameter of calcined nanofibers depends on Sn content. Other phases like SnO, ZnSnO3, and Zn2SnO4 were absent. Photoluminescence studies show that there is a change in the blue/violet luminescence confirming the presence of Sn in Zn-rich composi...

Preparation and characterization of ZnS:Cu/PVA composite nanofibers via electrospinning

ZnS:Cu/Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite nanofibers have been successfully prepared by electrospinning technique. The formation of ZnS: Cu/PVA nanofibers were carried out by reacting H2S with Zn(AC)2:Cu/PVA nanofibers, which were electrospun from the mixture aqueous solution of Zn(Ac)2, Cu(Ac)2 and PVA. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray-diffr...

Preparation and Characterization of SnO2 Nanofibers via Electrospinning

Tin oxide (SnO2) nanofibers are successfully prepared by electrospinning homogeneous viscous solutions of tin acetate in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The electrospinning is carried out by applying a DC voltage to the tip of a syringe and maintaining the tip to collector distance (TCD), i.e. at DC electric field of 1.25 kV∙cm−1. The electrospun nanofibers are calcined between 550 ̊C and 650 ̊C for ...
