The development of skin wound dressings with excellent properties has always been an important challenge in the field of biomedicine. In this study, biomimetic electrospun fish collagen/bioactive glass (Col/BG) nanofibers were prepared. Their structure, tensile strength, antibacterial activity and biological effects on human keratinocytes, human dermal fibroblasts and human vascular endothelial...

• Ag@PPy composite nanofibers were successfully synthesized by one-step method without additional oxidant. composites exhibit adsorption capacity of 7.02 mg/g for fluoride and fast kinetics within 60 min. High density 3.27 g/cm 3 makes the fine settlement performance from water. also show excellent bactericidal introduction silver. To facilitate separation properties polypyrrole (PPy) removal w...

amodified technique is designed to prepare aligned nanofibers to challenge the existing limitations in collecting methods of nanofibers such as, thickness of collected layer, alignment and productivity of nanofibers. collecting and simultaneously heating of the aligned nanofibers were carried out by using a rotating drum fixed on top of syringe needles and applying hot air flow. this electrospi...

objective(s): this paper describes synthesispolyvinyl alcohol/caf2:er nanofibers because of  its  photoluminescence properties.materials and methods:  first, caf2:er nanocomposite synthesized with co-precipitation method. in order to prepare polyvinyl alcohol (pva)/caf2:er nanofibers, caf2:er nanocomposites were added to the polyvinyl alcohol (pva) polymer. pva/caf2:er composite nanofibers were...

In the present study, we designed an ultrasensitive sensing platform for evaluation of physiologically relevant values basal dopamine (DA) in a culture medium as complex biological environment. The proposed was fabricated via integration molecular imprinting technology with carbon hybrid nanomaterials. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) were grown by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD...

The antibacterial property of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) and the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E have been combined by incorporation of these two active components within polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers via electrospinning (PLA/Ag-NP/VitaminE nanofibers). The morphological and structural characterizations of PLA/Ag-NP/VitaminE nanofibers were performed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM...

Objective(s): To improve water stability of electrospun chitosan/ Polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers, genipin, a biocompatible and nontoxic agent, was used to crosslink chitosan based nanofibers.  Materials and Methods: Different amounts of genipin were added to the chitosan/PEO solutions, chitosan/PEO weight ratio 90/10 in 80 % acetic acid, and the solutions were then electrospun to form nano...

The interaction of proteins and cells with polymers is critical to their use in scientific and medical applications. In this study, plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) was used to modify the surface of the conducting polymer, polypyrrole, which possesses electrical properties. PIII treatment enabled persistent, covalent binding of the cell adhesive protein, tropoelastin, without employing ...
