Objective(s): Three-dimensional structures such as nanofibrous scaffolds are being used in biomedical engineering as well as provide a site for cells to attach and proliferate leading to tissue formation. In the present study, poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP)/ poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) hybrid nanofibrous scaffold was synthesized by electrospinning. Materials and Methods: The effect of adding nano h...

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...

Solid Polymer electrolytes (SPEs) comprising of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)added Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) systems have been prepared via solvent castingtechnique. The samples subjected to AC impedancespectroscopic analysis and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)studies. Maximum ionic conductivity 3.91949*10-7 Scm-1 was achievedfor 60 wt% PVA 40wt% ZnCl2 system at room temperature.The stru...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanorod embedded composite was prepared using poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as a matrix with different weight percentages (wt. %) The role of PVA composition on the crystallite size, degree of crystallinity, functional groups and morphology of nanocomposites were characterised by XRD, FTIR, and TEM analysis. The results indicated that the size and crystallinity of HAp nano par...

Blends of collagen dispersion (COL) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in different weight ratios were investigated by oscillatory rheometry, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that even with 80% of PVA, the COL/PVA blends behaved more like collagen dispersion than pure PVA solution in the dynamic thermal and frequency processing, for instance, a ...

Nanofibrous scaffolds produced by electrospinning have attracted much attention, recently. Aligned and random nanofibrous scaffolds of poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly (ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and nanohydroxyapatite  (nHA) were fabricated by electrospinning method in this study. The composite nanofibrous scaffolds were subjected to detailed analysis. Morphological investigations revealed that the...

The effect of lithium bromide (LiBr) on the structure and properties poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) fibers obtained by wet-spinning was studied. tensile modulus strength a PVA fiber were greatly enhanced irrespective post-spinning hot-stretching process. high degree molecular orientation arose from reduction in crystallinity hydrogen bonding between chains solution resulting addition LiBr, which re...

in this paper, tin dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized by a fast and simple co-precipitation method. for sno2 preparation, we used ammonia as precipitation agent and bis (acetylacetone) ethylene diamineas as capping agent. by changing in sncl4, acacen mole-ratio different morphologies were obtained. this semiconductor nanostructure has photo-catalyst activities and can degrade organic dyes a...

Mesoporous alumina and magnesia were prepared using various polymers, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), poly(N-(2-hydroxypropyl) methacrylamide) (PHPMA), and poly(dimethylacrylamide) (PDMAAm), as porogenic structure matrices. Mesoporous alumina exhibits large Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas up to 365 m2 g−1, while mesoporous magnesium oxide possesses BET surface...

Hydrogels composed of N-quaternized chitosan (NQC) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in different weight ratios (1:3), (1:1) and (3:1) chemically crosslinked by glutaraldehyde in different weight ratios – 1.0 and 5.0% – have been prepared. The prepared hydrogels were characterized via several analysis tools such as: Fourier transform IR (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope ...
