Electrospun polyacrylonitrile nanofibrous biomaterials

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2008
AbstractAn N‐halamine precursor, 3‐(5′‐methyl‐5′‐hydantoinyl)acetanilide (I), was synthesized in our laboratory and loaded onto electrospun polyacrylonitrile fiber to prepare nanosized biocidal materials, which could be rendered antimicrobial by exposure to household bleach.

Nanofibrous materials for wound care

Cutaneous and Ocular Toxicology, 2010
Nanofibrous membranes are highly soft materials with high surface-to-volume ratios, and therefore can serve as excellent carriers for therapeutic agents that are antibacterial or accelerate wound healing. This article overviews research and development of nanofibrous dressing materials for wound care, in addition to a discussion of natural and ...

Nanofibrous scaffolds with biomimetic structure

Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2017
AbstractThis research studies the effect of using a grid‐like pattern as a collector on increasing the pore size of the electrospun gelatin/cellulose acetate/elastin scaffolds. The morphological study showed an enlargement in pore size and a decline in fiber diameter in comparison with the scaffold fabricated using conventional flat sheet collectors ...

Micro-Patterned Nanofibrous Biomaterials

Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2007
Nanofibrous materials made from bioabsorbable and biocompatible polymers have promising applications as tissue-engineered scaffolds. Genetic analysis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) that attached to Poly(glycolide) (PGA) nanofibrous materials prepared via electrospinning methods demonstrated high expression of Integrin v and VEGF ...

Nanofibres: New scalable technology platform for producing polymeric nanofibres

Filtration + Separation, 2013
Nanofibres promise to revolutionise the filtration market, among many others, enabling a plethora of novel nanofibre-enabled products. Dr. Sumit Gangwal and Miles Wright of Xanofi compare current nanofibre technologies with the XanoShear process, and highlight the benefits of utilising nanofibres for filtration applications.

Fabrication of Nanofibrous Inhaler Device

Inhalation Toxicology, 2007
It has been proven that administration by inhalation is one of the alternative and effective approaches to dose biomedicines such as insulin for diabetics. Here, we introduce a new approach to fabricate the inhaler, posing the merits of not using volatile solvent, having selectable size of drug particles, and being simple and low cost compared with ...

Near‐field imaging of organic nanofibres

Journal of Microscopy, 2004
SummaryThe optical near‐field of orientated nanofibres of para‐hexaphenyl was investigated by a combination of localized far‐field ultraviolet excitation and scanning near‐field fluorescence detection. Morphological inhomogeneities of the nanofibres together with selective incoupling into the near‐field probe resulted in a detection sensitivity was ...

Achieving highly dispersed nanofibres at high loading in carbon nanofibre–metal composites

Nanotechnology, 2009
In order to tap into the advantages of the properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) or carbon nanofibres (CNFs) in composites, the high dispersion of CNTs (or CNFs) and strong interfacial bonding are the key issues which are still challenging. In the current work, a novel approach, consisting of in situ synthesis of CNFs within the Cu powders and mixing ...

Using aligned nanofibres for identifying the toughening micromechanisms in nanofibre interleaved laminates

Composites Science and Technology, 2016
Abstract The susceptibility to delamination is one of the main concerns in many advanced laminated composite applications. Laminates interleaved with electrospun nanofibrous veils provide a potential solution in order to increase the material's resistance to interlaminar fracture.
