We report our study on fabrication of soluble eggshell membrane (SESM) and silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers composite (SF/SESM) for facemasks by electrospinning. Biocompatibility of the SF and SESM, determined from hydrophilicity results, is exploited in SF/SESM nanocomposite for facemask application. The SF/SESM nanocomposites were prepared in different ratios of SF and SESM. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), FTIR and water droplet adsorption tests conducted via water contact angle (WCA) and water droplet diffusion. The results revealed that addition of SESM has insignificant effect on the electrospinnability of SF nanofibers in the studied ratios. The SEM results depicted regular morphology of the nanofibers except increase in nanofiber diameter with addition of SESM. The FTIR results confirmed respective peaks of SF and SESM in SF/SESM nanocomposite. WCA of the nanofibers decreased with addition of SESM such that for SF/SESM30, 30 % SESM, it reduced to 0 ° from 101 ° for pure SF nanofibers. The research results demonstrate SF/SESM30 nanocomposite as optimum ratio of SF and SESM for facemasks and other biomedical applications.  相似文献

Silk fibroin (SF) has the characteristic of moisture penetrability and biocompatibility. To enhance the biocompatibility of bacterial cellulose (BC), silk fibroin is grafted onto BC membrane using laccase and 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO). As the model compound of BC, cellobiose is incubated with laccase/TEMPO for disclosing the mechanism of enzymatic oxidation. The structure and property of the composite membranes of SF/BC are investigated by means of FTIR, XPS, DSC, and biocompatibility analysis. The results indicate that cellobiose might react with hexamethylenediamine and form Schiff bases. The concentration of amino group in SF solution noticeably decreased after laccase/TEMPO oxidation, indicating the occurrence of self-crosslinking of SF. After enzymatic grafting of SF, the content of atomic nitrogen on BC surface was increased compared to that of the control. Meanwhile, the composite membrane of SF/BC exhibits more satisfactory biocompatibility compared to BC, and it has potential applications in biomedical fields.  相似文献

Herein we report successful synthesis of silk fibroin (SF) three dimensional scaffolds (SF 3D-scaffold) from SF sponge and SF nanofibers. Both the nanofibers and sponge were prepared from Bombyx mori fibroin. The SF 3D-scaffold was prepared by electrospinning the fibroin nanofibers over the sponge. Surface morphology was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while nanofiber diameter and pore size were measured using imageJ software. Effect of spinning time on the pore size and cell adhesion was determined. Average diameter of the SF nanofibers was measured to be 320 nm and pore size was found to reduce with increasing spinning time, such that, for 1 h spinning time pore size was 231 µm and the same for 3.5 h was 4.1 µm. However, the number of pores increased with spinning time. The results confirmed adhesion of MC3T3-E1 cells on the SF sponge, SF nanofibers and SF three dimensional scaffolds. Higher cell adhesion was found on the three dimensional scaffold in comparison to the nanofibers and sponge, possibly due to highly porous structure with very small and numerous pores in the resultant composite; hence more cell adhesion sites. The cell adhesion result confirmed biocompatibility of the SF 3D-scaffold and hence its suitability for applications in tissue engineering.  相似文献

Silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning and their application as an enzyme immobilization support was attempted. By varying the concentration of SF dope solution the diameter of SF nanofiber was controlled. The SF nanofiber web had high capacity of enzyme loading, which reached to 5.6 wt%. The activity of immobilizedα-chymotrypsin (CT) on SF nanofiber was 8 times higher than that on silk fiber and it increased as the fiber diameter decreased. Sample SF8 (ca. 205 nm fiber diameter) has excellent stability at 25°C by retaining more than 90 % of initial activity after 24 hours, while sample SF11 (ca. 320 nm fiber diameter) shows higher stability in ethanol, retaining more than 45% of initial activity. The formation of multipoint attachment between enzyme and support might increase the stability of enzyme. From these results, it is expected that the electrospun SF nanofibers can be used as an excellent support for enzyme immobilization.  相似文献

Nanospider technology as a modified electrospinning technique was used for the fabrication of electrospun nanofibers based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blend as drug delivery system (DDS) for metronidazole (MTZ) as an antimicrobial drug. Electrospun PVA/PEO/MTZ composite nanofibers were stabilized against disintegration in water by heating in oven at 110°C, or by soaking in isopropyl alcohol for 6 hrs. Incorporation of MTZ into electrospun nanofibers was confirmed by SEM, FT-IR spectra and TGA. The drug release results showed that the burst release was suppressed with stabilized electrospun nanofibers compared with non-stabilized ones. Electrospun PVA/PEO/MTZ composite nanofibers exhibited remarkable antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium notatum and Aspergillus flavus which varies with the species of the tested organisms.  相似文献

Biocompatible polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-styrylpyridinium (SbQ)/β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) composite nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning in this study. PVA-SbQ was used as the foundation polymer as well as crosslinking agent, β-CD was incorporated to achieve expected properties such as improved mechanical properties and thermal stability. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra confirmed the existence of β-CD, and the morphologies and average fiber diameters of the electrospun composite nanofibers were also analyzed by SEM. X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) of PVA-SbQ/β-CD composite nanofibers revealed that the inclusion of β-CD in the nanofibers affected the ordered phase of PVA. Besides, the thermal analyses revealed the improvement in the thermal properties for PVA-SbQ/β-CD composite nanofibers. It was found that the crosslinked composite nanofibers showed a clear higher tensile strength (TS) as well as a greater elongation at break (EB). Eventually, antifungal drug griseofulvin (GSV) has been loaded into the composite nanofibers by formation of its inclusion complex with β-CD in aqueous solution, ultraviolet light (UV-Vis) spectral analysis showed that the drug-loading nanofibers had certain sustained release effect.  相似文献

In this study, electrospun wool keratose (WK)/silk fibroin (SF) blend nanofiber was prepared and evaluated as a heavy metal ion adsorbent which can be used in water purification field. The WK, which was a soluble fraction of oxidized wool keratin fiber, was blended with SF in formic acid. The electrospinnability was greatly improved with an increase of SF content. The structure and properties of WK/SF blend nanofibers were investigated by SEM, FTIR, DMTA and tensile test. Among various WK/SF blend ratios, 50/50 blend nanofiber showed an excellent mechanical property. It might be due to some physical interaction between SF and WK molecules although FTIR result did not show any evidence of molecular miscibility. As a result of metal ion adsorption test, WK/SF blend nanofiber mats exhibited high Cu2+ adsorption capacity compared with ordinary wool sliver at pH 8.5. It might be due to large specific surface area of nanofiber mat as well as numerous functional groups of WK. Consequently, the WK/SF blend nanofiber mats can be a promising candidate as metal ion adsorption filter.  相似文献

Polystyrene (PS) composites with nanofibrous structure consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) with 0-10 wt.% of nanofiller have been fabricated via electrospinning technique. The surface morphology and thermal properties of the composites were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA). The SEM analysis of the composite nanofibers samples revealed that the average diameter of the nanofibers increases with increasing MWCNTs content. The resultant MWCNTs/PS composite nanofibers diameters were in the range of 391±63 to 586±132 nm. The thermal stability of composites was increased after addition of MWCNTs to PS matrix. The electrical conductivity of the composites with different weight percentage of MWCNTs was investigated at room temperature. Electrical conductivity of MWCNTs/PS composite nanofiber followed percolation theory having a percolation threshold V c= 0.45 vol% (~0.75 wt. %) and critical exponent q=1.21. The electrical conductivity and thermal properties confirmed the presence of good dispersion and alignment MWCNTs encapsulated within the electrospun nanofibers. The electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness of the MWCNTs/PS composites was examined in the measurement frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz (X-band). The total EMI shielding efficiency of MWCNTs/PS composite nanofibers increased up to 32 dB. The EMI shielding results for MWCNTs/PS composite nanofibers showed that absorption loss was the major shielding mechanism and reflection was the secondary mechanism. The present study has shown the possibility of utilizing MWCNTs/PS composite nanofibers as EMI shielding/absorption materials.  相似文献

The four binary fatty acid eutectics of capric-lauric acid (CA-LA), capric-myristic acid (CA-MA), capric-palmitic acid (CA-PA), and capric-stearic acid (CA-SA) were firstly prepared as solid-liquid phase change materials (PCMs); then, the composite phase change nanofibers consisting of CA-based binary fatty acid eutectic and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) were fabricated by electrospinning for thermal energy storage. The maximum mass ratios of fatty acid eutectics versus PET in the nanofibers could reach up to 2/1. The FE-SEM images revealed that the composite nanofibers possessed smooth and cylindrical morphological structure having diameters of about 100–300 nm. The fatty acid eutectic could be uniformly distributed in the three-dimension network structure of the PET nanofibers. The FT-IR results indicated that the fatty acid eutectic and PET had no chemical reaction and exhibited good compatibility with each other. The DSC measurements showed that the prepared composite nanofibers had appropriate phase transition temperatures (about 5–38 °C) based upon climatic requirement, whilst the phase change temperatures and the enthalpy values of the composite nanofibers could be adjusted by changing the contents and the types of binary fatty acid eutectics in the nanofibers. The TGA results suggested that the onset thermal degradation temperatures and charred residues at 700 °C of the composite nanofibers were lower than those of pure PET nanofibers, but higher than those of fatty acid eutectic, which were caused by the fact that the PET had better thermal stability than fatty acid eutectic.  相似文献

Meta-aramid/cellulose acetate and meta-aramid/cellulose composite nanofibers were successfully prepared in this paper. There were some new interactions formed among composite ingredients and the beads of nanofibers decreased with increasing the weight proportion of ingredients and concentration of composite solution. The meta-aramid/cellulose acetate composite solution was more favorable for electrospinning because of its lower viscosity and surface tension than meta-aramid/cellulose composite solution, and the uniform nanofibers were obtained when the weight proportion of meta-aramid/cellulose acetate was larger than 1:2, however, it was feasible for meta-aramid/cellulose composite solution when the weight proportion of composite solution exceeded 4:1. The thermal property and mechanical property of composite nanofibers were improved after blending meta-aramid with cellulose acetate or cellulose.  相似文献

The synthesis of titanium dioxide nanofibers with 200–300 nm diameter was presented. The new inorganic-organic hybrid nanofibers were prepared by sol-gel processing and electrospinning technique using a viscous solution of titanium isopropoxide (TiP)/poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc). Pure titanium dioxide nanofibers were obtained by high temperature calcination of the inorganic-organic composite fibers. SEM, FT-IR, and WAXD techniques were employed to characterize these nanofibers. The titanium dioxide nanostructured fibers have rougher surface and smaller diameter compare with PVAc/TiP composite nanofibers. The anatase to rutile phase transformation occurred when the calcination temperature was increased from 600 °C to 1000 °C.  相似文献

Cellulose nanowhisker (CNW) reinforced electrospun Bombyx mori silk fibroin (SF) nanofibers were fabricated. The morphology, structure, and mechanical properties of nanofibers were investigated by FE-SEM, TEM, FTIR, and tensile testing. It was found that the nanofiber size decreased obviously from 250 nm in the unreinforced mat to 77–160 nm in the CNW reinforced mats depending on the CNW content due to the increased conductivity of spinning dope. In the reinforced mats, the CNWs were embedded in the SF matrix separated from each other, and aligned along the fiber axis. There was a positive correlation between the CNW content and the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of reinforced mats. However the strain at break dropped gradually with the increase of CNW. When the CNW content was 2 w/w%, the tensile strength and Young’s modulus of reinforced SF nanofiber mats were about 2 times higher than those of unreinforced mat.  相似文献

In this study, we describe the preparation and characterization of electrospun Nylon66 composite nanofibers incorporated with carbon nanotubes (CNT) fillers and silver nanoparticles. We have incorporated the composites in to Nylon66 nanofibers to enhance the characteristics of the resultant composite nanofibers. The resultant composite nanofibers were characterized by using field-emission scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and current-voltage (I–V) measurement analysis. The morphology of the composite nanofibers exhibited densely arranged mesh-like ultrafine nanofibers which were strongly bound in between the main fibers. From I–V characteristics, it was observed that the incorporation of CNT fillers and Ag nanoparticles in to electrospun Nylon66 composite nanofibers can be significantly enhanced the electrical properties.  相似文献

In this study, electrically conducting composite membranes were prepared by incorporating carboxylic multi-walled carbon nanotubes (c-MWCNTs) into Bacterial Cellulose (BC) pellicles. The biocathode and bioanode were prepared by a simple method of adsorption. An enzyme biological fuel cell (EBFC) composed of a biocathode and an enzymatic bioanode were developed and tested. The materials was characterised by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The results showed that the presence of c-MWCNTs on BC was certified, on which c-MWCNTs loading was calculated as 30.02/100 g. The BC/c-MWCNTs/Lac composite membranes was characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV). An EBFC was characterized by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV). The results showed EBFC exhibited excellent performance with the largest open circuit voltage (0.76 V) and a maximum power density value (55 uW/cm3). Additionally, the cell also exhibited acceptable stability over the recording of 30 days. BC was considered to be suitable for advanced applications such as an enzymatic carrier of biological fuel cells.  相似文献

Polymer organic-inorganic hybrid nanofibers constitute a new class of materials in which the polymeric nanofibers are reinforced by uniformly dispersed inorganic particles having at least one dimension in nanometer-scale. In the present study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and PAN/Na-montmorillonite (PAN/Na-MMT) nanofibers were conducted via electrospinning process. Electrospun PAN and PAN/Na-MMT fibers with the respective mean fiber diameter of about 220 and 160 nm were prepared. The influence of the clay-montmorillonite on the morphology and diameter of nanofibers was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) techniques. The microscopic techniques propose that the PAN/Na-MMT composite nanofibers show lower mean fiber diameter than the neat PAN nanofibers. Besides, the difference in nanoclay-content has a slight effect on the distribution of fibers diameter. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results suggest that introduction of clay-nanomaterials improves the thermal characteristics of fibers.  相似文献

In this work, the pure polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers and PAN/FeCl3 composite nanofibers were prepared by an electrospinning process. Electrospinning solution properties including viscosity, surface tension and conductivity, had been measured and combined with the results of Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Atomic force microscope (AFM) and Micro Combustion Calorimeter (MCC) to investigate the effects of FeCl3 on the structure, surface morphology and combustion property of electrospun PAN nanofibers, respectively. It was found from SEM images that the diameters of composite nanofibers were decreased with the addition of FeCl3, which was attributed predominantly to the increased conductivity of the polymer solutions compared to viscosity and surface tension. The AFM analyses revealed that the surface morphology of electrospun nanofibers changed from smooth and wrinkle-like structure (without FeCl3) to rough and ridge-like structure (with FeCl3). The results characterized by MCC showed that the loading of FeCl3 decreased the heat release rate (HRR) and improved the combustion property of composite nanofibers.  相似文献

Silver nanoparticles imbedded in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers and converted into carbon nanofibers by calcination was obtained in a simple three-step process. The first step involves conversion of silver ions to metallic silver nanoparticles, through reduction of silver nitrate with dilute solution of PAN. The second step involves electrospinning of viscous PAN solution containing silver nanoparticles, thus obtaining PAN nanofibers containing silver nanoparticles. The third step was converting PAN/Ag composites into carbon nanofibers containing silver nanoparticles. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the diameter of the nanofibers ranged between 200 and 800 nm. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) showed silver nanoparticles dispersed on the surface of the carbon nanofibers. The obtained fiber was fully characterized by measuring and comparing the FTIR spectra and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) diagrams of PAN nanofiber with and without imbedded silver nanoparticles, in order to show the effect of silver nanoparticles on the electrospun fiber properties. The obtained carbon/Ag composites were tested as gram-class-independent antibacterial agent. The electrosorption of different salt solutions with the fabricated carbon/Ag composite film electrodes was studied.  相似文献

Fabrication of Ceftazidime (CTZ) loaded silk fibroin/gelatin (SF/GT) nanofibers (NFs) without the loss of structure and bioactivity of CTZ was demonstrated by electrospinning method. The structure, morphology and mechanical properties of the electrospun SF/GT nanofibrous mats were characterized using FT-IR, SEM and DSC. The drug release profile of different electrospun fibers was analyzed using spectrophotometric method, and also diffusion method was applied to assess the antibacterial effect of NFs. Cell viability was evaluated by MTT assay. The results show that the average diameter of drug loaded NFs at the optimum polymer to drug feeding ratio (10:1) was 276.55±35.8 nm, while increasing the feeding ratio to 1:1 increases the average diameter to 825.02±70.3 nm. FT-IR of drug loaded NFs was revealed that CTZ was successfully encapsulated into NFs while viability study approved cytocompatibility of SF/GT NFs. CTZ was released from NFs during 6 h, and formation of inhibition zone in diffusion test demonstrated the antibacterial effect of drug loaded NFs. Altogether, the CTZ loaded SF/GT NFs can improve the drug effectiveness particularly in the prevention of post-surgical adhesions and infections for wound dressing.  相似文献

In this study, we report the fabrication and evaluation of a hybrid multi-scale basalt fiber/epoxy composite laminate reinforced with layers of electrospun carbon nanotube/polyurethane (CNT/PU) nanofibers. Electrospun polyurethane mats containing 1, 3 and 5 wt% carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were interleaved between layers of basalt fibers laminated with epoxy through vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The strength and stiffness of composites for each configuration were tested by tensile and flexural tests, and SEM analysis was conducted to observe the morphology of the composites. The results showed increase in tensile strength (4–13 %) and tensile modulus (6–20 %), and also increase in flexural strength (6.5–17.3 %) and stiffness of the hybrid composites with the increase of CNT content in PU nanofibers. The use of surfactant to disperse CNTs in the electrospun PU reinforcement resulted to the highest increase in both tensile and flexural properties, which is attributed to the homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in the PU nanofibers and the high surface area of the nanofibers themselves. Here, the use of multi-scale reinforcement fillers with good and homogeneous dispersion for epoxy-based laminates showed increased mechanical performance of the hybrid composite laminates.  相似文献

In this study, a new approach consisting of chemical treatment steps followed by electrospinning process was applied to produce cellulose nanofibers from wheat straws. Wheat straws were initially pretreated by NaOH solution to open the complex structure of raw materials and remove non-cellulosic materials. Then, acid and alkali hydrolysis was separately performed to eliminate hemicellulose and soluble lignin. Also, bleaching processes were implemented to remove the insoluble lignin. Cellulose nanofibers were produced by electrospinning of various concentrations of cellulose in different solvents including sodium hydroxide/urea/thiourea, pure trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), and TFA/methylene chloride. Images obtained by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) showed long and uniform nanofibers produced from electrospinning of cellulose/TFA/methylene chloride solution. An epoxy based laminated composite was prepared by a lamina of cellulose microfiber and electrospun nanofiber mat using hand lay-up composite manufacturing method. The fracture surface of the epoxy nanocomposite was analyzed by SEM images. In addition, the mechanical properties of laminated epoxy composites were compared with pure epoxy by conducting tensile and impact tests. Tensile test results showed that the ultimate tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of laminated epoxy nanocomposites were significantly increased. Moreover, it was found that by adding a nanofiber lamina in the epoxy composite, the impact resistance was significantly improved as a result of crack growth prevention.  相似文献
