Electrospinning is the process of choice for elaboration nanofibrous mats. During process, a thin and continuous charged jet polymer solution traveling from an emitter subjected to high voltage toward grounded collector. Although duration travel in order few tens milliseconds, physical interactions acting between air play key role on resulting fiber morphology. These mainly rely amount water mo...

Electrospinning of nanofibers from non-polymeric systems is rather challenging, yet in this study, we have successfully performed electrospinning of nanofibers from two of the native cyclodextrins (CDs); α-CD and β-CD. Electrospinning was carried out for highly concentrated solutions of α-CD (120% up to 160%, w/v) and β-CD (120% up to 150%, w/v) in basic aqueous system. At optimal concentration...

High voltage power was used to produce jet in electrospinning. It was very difficult to study electrospinning jets by experiment, because they have high-speed and complex movements in the high-voltage electrostatic field, and the diameter of jet was very small. In this study, the software of finite element analysis was used to simulate the formation process of a stable jet in electrospinning. T...

BACKGROUND The objective of this investigation was to develop a new class of antibacterial material in the form of nanofibers coated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using a modified coaxial electrospinning approach. Through manipulation of the distribution on the surface of nanofibers, the antibacterial effect of Ag can be improved substantially. METHODS Using polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as the...

Tissue engineering is a technique by which a live tissue can be re-constructed and one of its main goals is to associate cells with biomaterials. Electrospinning is a technique that facilitates the production of nanofibers and is commonly used to develop fibrous scaffolds to be used in tissue engineering. In the present study, a different approach for cell incorporation into fibrous scaffolds w...

Here we report the successful production of nanofibers from main-chain polybenzoxazines (MCPBz) via electrospinning without using any other carrier polymer matrix. Two different types of MCPBz (PBA-ad6 and PBA-ad12) were synthesized by using two types of difunctional amine (1,6-diaminohexane and 1,12diaminododecane), bisphenol-A, and paraformaldehyde as starting materials through a Mannich reac...

Electrospinning or electrostatic fiber spinning is an emerging technology that requires electric fields for the formation of non-woven materials that can be used in clothing, highperformance filters, separation membranes, scaffolds in tissue engineering, reinforcement in composite materials, templates for the preparation of functional nanotubes, and many others applications [1]. Polycaprolacton...

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibres were obtained by electrospinning of PVA/water solutions. Formation of beaded fibres combined with decreased fibre diameters was observed for low PVA concentrations. Electrospinning of blends of PVA of different molecular weight resulted in less bead formation and smaller fibre diameters as compared to corresponding homopolymers of similar viscosity.

Cubic (Im3[combining macron]m) mesoporous silica nanofibers were successfully prepared using a new F127-PVA-SiO2 tri-constituent assembly approach by the electrospinning technique. PVA was used to protect the F127 directed cubic micelles which usually deform during electrospinning. The preformed Au NPs can be loaded inside the mesopores of the nanofibers.
