Surface modified electrospun polyester (PET) nanofibers with cyclodextrin polymer (CDP) were produced (PET/CDP). CDP formation onto electrospun PET nanofibers was achieved by polymerization between citric acid (CTR, crosslinking agent) and cyclodextrin (CD). Three different types of native CD (α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD) were used to form CDP. Water-insoluble crosslinked CDP coating was permanently ad...

Fabrication of tunable wetting surfaces is sought for the last years given its importance on energy, biomaterials and antimicrobials, water purification, microfluidics, smart surfaces. Liquid management mainly depends control at micro- nanoscale both roughness chemical composition. Herein, combination a soft-template method plasma-enhanced vapor deposition presented synthesis TiO2 nanofibers po...

Superfine Particles (SP) of soluble eggshell membrane and medical grade polyurethane (MPU) blend nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning different blend ratios of SP/MPU suspensions for regeneration of the natural fiber-like structure of the eggshell membrane. The addition of SP had no obvious effect on the electrospinning process of MPU nanofibers, and the SP were randomly dispersed in the...

This review describes the recent developments in natural and synthetic nanofibers to support human stem cell (hSC) propagation and differentiation. Nanofibers are promising substrates for regenerative medicine because of their morphologies that structurally mimic the in vivo microenvironment, that is, the extracellular matrix (ECM). Cellular behavior, including attachment, proliferation, and di...
