Zeolitic Imidazole Framework/Graphene Oxide Hybrid Functionalized Poly(lactic acid) Electrospun Membranes: A Promising Environmentally Friendly Water Treatment Material

Electrospun polylactic acid nanofiber membranes as substrates for biosensor assemblies

Biotin has been successfully incorporated into polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers through electrospinning to prepare membrane substrates for biosensors based on biotin–streptavidin specific binding. Biotin incorporated PLA nanofiber membranes were characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and confocal microscopy. Under optimized conditions, small ...

Electrospun membranes: Next generation membranes for desalination and water/wastewater treatment

Membranes for Environmentally Friendly Energy Processes

Membrane separation systems require no or very little chemicals compared to standard unit operations. They are also easy to scale up, energy efficient, and already widely used in various gas and liquid separation processes. Different types of membranes such as common polymers, microporous organic polymers, fixed-site-carrier membranes, mixed matrix membranes, carbon membranes as well as inorgan...

Electrospun Membranes for Desalination and Water/Wastewater Treatment: A Comprehensive Review

Polymeric nanofbers, specifcally fabricated by electrospinning, offer viable means useful for a wide range of applications such as health, energy and environmental issues. However, among the mentioned sectors, desalination and water/wastewater treatment applications have been highlighted during the past decade. This article focuses on the present status and recent develo...

Bacteria immobilized electrospun polycaprolactone and polylactic acid fibrous webs for remediation of textile dyes in water.

In this study, preparation and application of novel biocomposite materials for textile dye removal which are produced by immobilization of specific bacteria onto electrospun nanofibrous webs are presented. A textile dye remediating bacterial isolate, Clavibacter michiganensis, was selected for bacterial immobilization, a commercial reactive textile dye, Setazol Blue BRF-X, was selected as the t...
