[ 1 ] - Evaluation of the Effective Electrospinning Parameters Controlling Kefiran Nanofibers Diameter Using Modelling Artificial Neural Networks

Objective(s): This paper investigates the validity of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model in the prediction of electrospun kefiran nanofibers diameter using 4 effective parameters involved in electrospinning process. Polymer concentration, applied voltage, flow rate and nozzle to collector distance were used as variable parameters to design various sets of electrospinning ex...

[ 2 ] - Electrospinning of Polyacrylonitrile Nanofibers and Simulation of Electric Field via Finite Element method

Objective(s): Since the electric field is the main driving force in electrospinning systems, the modeling and analysis of electric field distribution are critical to the nanofibers production. The aim of this study was modeling of the electric field and investigating the various parameters on polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers morphology and diameter. Methods:</st...

[ 3 ] - Fabrication and characterization of nanofibrous tricuspid valve scaffold based on polyurethane for heart valve tissue engineering

Objective(s): Tissue engineering represents a new approach to solve the current complications of the heart valve replacements by offering viable valve prosthesis with growth and remodeling capability. In this project, electrospinning and dip coating techniques were used to fabricate heart valve constructs from medical grade polyurethane (PU). Methods: Fir...

[ 4 ] - Drug-loaded electrospun nanofibrous sheets as barriers against postsurgical adhesions in mice model

Objectives: Postsurgical adhesion is one of the common complications after surgery. Some anti-adhesion barriers are commercially available which are not customary used by physicians as much as expected because of ineffectiveness. Recently, nanofibers have been introduced as anti-adhesion barriers with t...

[ 6 ] - ‘Reversed Turkevich’ method for tuning the size of Gold nanoparticles: evaluation the effect of concentration and temperature

In this study the influence of dicarboxy acetone (DCA), as an oxidation product of sodium citrate, was evaluated by ‘reversed Turkevich’ method in this study. Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) were synthesized systematically at various sodium citrate to HAuCl4 molar ratio and temperature. TheseThe GNPs were characterized by UV-vis spectroscopy, DLS and TEM techniques. The results showed that by reversi...

[ 7 ] - طراحی، اجرا و ارزیابی ماجول آموزشی ادغام یافته کاربردهای فناوری نانو در برنامه‌ی درسی دستیاران علوم اعصاب دانشگاه علوم پزشکی تهران

Background & Objective: The use of nanotechnology in neuroscience research is considered as an essential requirement while neuroscience students have little information in this regard and their educational program less addressed the applications of new technologies in research. Considering this need and by relying on the development of new educational methods, we aimed to design and implement a...
