Electrospinning and Post-Spun Chain Conformations of Synthetic, Hydrophobic Poly(α-amino acid)s. [PDF]

, 2020
Electrospinning and post-spun conformations of hydrophobic poly(α-amino acid)s are described in this study. The poly(α-amino acid)s, poly(Gly), poly(L-Ala), poly(L-Val), and poly(L-Leu) were synthesized via corresponding N-carboxy-a-amino acid anhydrides.

Facile fabrication of organic superhydrophobic corn silk-derived cellulose acetate nanofiber for the effective sequestration of oil from oil–water mixture

Water Science and Technology, 2023
Oil spills and subsequent cleanup by oil–water separation remain a global concern. For the first time, corn silk-derived cellulose acetate (CSCA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) composite nanofiber are reported to create a superhydrophobic oil–water ...

Local Crystallinity in Twisted Cellulose Nanofibers [PDF]

ACS Nano, 2020
Cellulose is crystallized by plants and other organisms into fibrous nanocrystals. The mechanical properties of these nanofibers and the formation of helical superstructures with energy dissipating and adaptive optical properties depend on the ordering of polysaccharide chains within these nanocrystals, which is typically measured in bulk average ...

Plasmonic gold-cellulose nanofiber aerogels

Optics Express, 2020
Assembly of plasmonic nanomaterials into a low refractive index medium, such as an aerogel, holds a great promise for optical metamaterials, optical sensors, and photothermal energy converters. However, conventional plasmonic aerogels are opaque and optically isotropic composites, impeding them from being used as low-loss or polarization-dependent ...

ELECTROSPINNING OF ANTIBACTERIAL CELLULOSE ACETATE NANOFIBERS

Cellulose Chemistry and Technology, 2023
"Herein, it was aimed to achieve antibacterial cellulose acetate (CA) nanofiber production and characterization. Firstly, solution properties, such as viscosity, conductivity and surface tension, were determined. Secondly, CA/zinc oxide (ZnO) composite nanofibers were produced with optimum process parameters via the electrospinning method.
