Polylactic acid (PLA)/Tea polyphenol (TP) composite nanofilms were prepared using an electrospinning process. The mixed dichloromethane (DCM) and N,N-dinethylformamide (DMF) (70:30, v/v) was found to be the most suitable solvent for electrospinning. Various blends of PLA/TP solutions were formed. The morphology of the electrospun nano-scale fibers was investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the antibacterial performance was tested using shake flask method. The average diameter of the fibers is between 380 and 850 nm. It was found that the fiber diameter decreases as TP content increases, however the fibers may become brittle when the blend ratio of PLA and TP reached 50/50 (w/w). The antibacterial performance can be improved at the beginning when TP content increased. But it gradually gets impaired when TP content surpasses a certain value. The highest inhibitory rate against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus are 96.9 and 97.6 % respectively.  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

Functionalization of cellulosic nanofibers was established to develop antibacterial bandages. The functionalization was conducted through preparation of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) containing different metal nanoparticles (MNPs) such as copper nanoparticles (CuNPs), iron nanoparticles (FeNPs) and zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs). Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize CMC containing MNPs and scanning electron microscopy coupled with high energy dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX) to study the surface morphology of CMC with and without MNPs. Furthermore, back scattering electron detector was used to show the position of metal nanoparticles on the microcrystalline CMC. In addition, UV-visible spectroscopy was used to confirm MNPs formation. Nanofiber mats of CMC containing MNPs were synthesized using electrospinning technique. Surface morphology of electrospun CMC containing MNPs was characterized using SEM. The obtained data revealed that elctrospun CMC nanofibers containing MNPs were smooth and uniformly distributed without bead formation. The average fiber diameters were in the range of 150 to 200 nm and the presence of MNPs in the nanofiber did not affect the size of the electrospun nanofiber diameter. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images displayed that MNPs were existed inside and over the surface of the electrospun nanofibers without any agglomeration. The average particle diameters of MNPs were 29-39 nm for ZnNPs, 23-27 nm for CuNPs and 22-26 nm for FeNPs. Moreover, Water uptake of electrospun nanofiber mats and the release of MNPs from nanofibers were evaluated. Nevertheless, electrospun CMC nanofibers containing MNPs had an excellent antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria Escherichia coli and Gram-positive bacteria Staphylococcus aureus.  相似文献

Synthesis of biocompatible polymer nanofibers is valuable, due to their use as a cover for burns and as a replacement for bandage because of their antimicrobial properties. In this study, electrospinning of chitosan(Ch) and nanofibers synthesis with antibacterial properties was investigated. Nanofibers with antibacterial properties were synthesized by electrospun of Ch/poly(L-lactide)(PLA)/Imipenem(Imi) polymer solution. The results showed that the optimized ratio of Ch/PLA polymer solution was ratio of 50:50 and Ch 2 wt% and PLA 10 wt% polymer solution was the best weight percentage for nanofiber preparation. Also, the average diameter of Ch/PLA/Imi nanofibers was 143 nm and measured with ImageJ software. Afterwards, the antibacterial properties of Imi as additives (with different percentages) was studied in the polymer solution. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and antibacterial tests were showed that the electrospun of Ch/PLA/Imi polymeric nanofibers were effective against Gram negative bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) and inhibited growth of E. coli. The growth and viability percentage of fibroblast cells with nanofibers in αMEM culture are at desirable levels after 6 days.  相似文献

Eletriospinning process was used to fabricate Zirconia nanofibers and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was employed in this procedure. SEM, TGA, FT-IR and XRD were used to investigate the electrospinning process. Pure PVP was electrospun at the same conditions as comparisons. The results indicated that the fibers had an average diameter about 80 nm with smooth surface. FT-IR spectrum and TGA curve proved that PVP was removed from the fibers after a thermal treatment. It was found that the crystal structure of Zirconia changed at different calcination temperature. The use of PVP, bicomponent solvent of water and ethanol and inorganic salt had positive effects on the morphology of the fibers.  相似文献

By combining the organic-inorganic hybridization, wet phase inversion, and electrospinning, novel electrospun polyurethane (PU) membranes with in-situ generated nano-TiO2 were prepared, which satisfied the requirements of an ideal wound dressing. The morphology of the PU-TiO2 mats and the cross sectional morphologies of the membranes were characterized by a scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The average diameter of the individual fibers obtained from the solutions was 341±12 nm. SEM micrographs with higher magnification further showed that the in-situ generated TiO2 particles were well-separated and dispersed homogeneously in the membranes. The average sizes of TiO2 particles were increased from 31 to 57 nm, with the increase of nano-TiO2 concentration. The water vapor transmission rates (WVTRs) of the membranes were in the range of 373.55–3121.86 g/m2·d and decreased gradually with the increase of nano-TiO2 concentration. The water absorption of various PU membranes was in the range of 210.90–397.98 % which was enough to prevent wound beds from exudate accumulation. Shake flask testing indicated that the PU membrane exhibited antibacterial efficiency against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Ps. aeruginosa) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) due to in-situ generated of nano-TiO2. These electrospun nanofibrous membranes also had no toxic effect and showed good and immediate adherence to L929 cells.  相似文献

The present work reports the preparation of Poly L-Lactide (PLLA) and Curcumin loaded Poly L-Lactide (CPLLA) nanofibers by electrospinning. A series of PLLA solution (12 wt %) and C-PLLA (12 wt % PLLA) solution containing Curcumin (0.5 wt % and 1 wt %)) were electrospun into nanofibers. SEM images showed the average diameter of PLLA and C-PLLA in the range of 50?C200 nm. The TEM images showed the dispersion of Curcumin on C-PLLA nanofibers. The XRD pattern indicated decreases of crystallinity with the increase in the amount of Curcumin. The characteristic peak of Curcumin was confirmed by FTIR. The TGA results showed the degradation of PLLA and C-PLLA close to 300 °C. The percentage porosity and the contact angle of PLLA were found to be 90.2 % and 115±3 ° with deionised water, respectively. The water uptake percentage was found to be 17.6 %. The percentage cumulative release of Curcumin at the end of 8th day for 0.5 and 1.0 wt % formulations was 81.4±1.3 and 86.7±1.7 % respectively. The in-vitro biological cytotoxicity studies were performed using C6 glioma cells and NIH 3T3 fibroblast by MTT assay and SEM analysis.  相似文献

Ultra fine fibers were electrospun from regenerated silk fibroin/formic acid solution. Effect of some process parameters on the morphology, diameter and variation in fiber diameter of electrospun fibers were experimentally investigated. Scanning electron microscope was used for the measurement of fiber diameter. Fibers with diameter ranging from 80 to 210 nm were collected depending on the solution concentration and the applied voltages. Response surface methodology (RSM) was used to obtain a quantitative relationship between selected electrospinning parameters and the average fiber diameters and its distribution. It was shown that concentration of silk fibroin solution had a significant effect on the fiber diameter and the standard deviation of the fiber diameter. Applied voltage had no significant effect on the fiber diameter and its standard deviation.  相似文献

Herein, a biodegradable and biocompatible composite comprising of support membrane based on crosslinked PVA/PEG film and curcumin loaded electrospun poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanofiber mat is introduced. The membrane film was prepared from PVA/PEG blend followed by crosslinking with an optimum amount of citric acid, 15 wt.%. After then, PLA solutions with different curcumin content, 0-11 wt.%, were electrospinned on the prepared membrane substrate. The prepared film showed high water absorption, water vapor transmission rate and superior mechanical properties with improved elastic modulus, tensile strength and with an elongation of around 320 % with respect to the non-crosslinked one. Also, the scanning electron microscopy was revealed uniformly dispersed pores throughout the membrane film with a nearly narrow in size distribution centered at 36 μm. As well, a nanostructure porous morphology was found for the electrospun fibrous curcumin loaded PLA from the scanning electron microscopy micrographs and the average fiber diameter was decreased with curcumin content. In vitro drug release from the prepared flexible composite into the vertical diffusion cell was recorded by the measuring curcuminoids content using high performance liquid chromatography and drug release kinetic evaluations were revealed that the release pattern of all prepared samples, containing different content of curcumin, well fitted to the Higuchi’s model signifying diffusion-controlled release mechanism. As well, the determined release rate at the second release stages, i.e. steady state flux (J), was varied from 0.31 to 43.53 μg·cm-2·h-1 with increasing drug content from 1 to 11 wt.%. Regarding this results, this flexible composite by providing the moist environment along with miraculous healing properties of curcumin, can be potential candidate for transdermal drug delivery.  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

Electrospinning is a versatile process used to prepare micro- and nano- sized fibers from various polymer solution. Here, we dealt with the variation in the morphology of nylon 6 electrospun nanofibers and their polymorphism depending on the type and physical state of the collectors. SEM study showed that the fiber diameter was increased from 80 to 103 nm while it was collected in water bath. Similarly the fiber diameter and bonding was increased 103 to 115 nm with the temperature whereas it was linearly decreased 103 to 90 nm with the conductivity of the water bath. Spectroscopic analysis (FT-Raman, FT-IR) showed that the polymorphism of nylon 6 depended on the types of collector (aluminum sheet and water bath). Nylon 6 electrospun nanofibers display theγ-phase while collected in aluminum sheet andα-phase while collection in water bath. The extent of transformation fromγ- toα-phase was linearly increased with temperature and conductivity of the water bath.  相似文献

GSP/gelatin composite nanofiber membranes containing silver nanoparticles were successfully fabricated as a novel biomaterial by electrospinning. The silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were synthesized with the grape seed polyphenols (GSP) as reducing agent in aqueous solution of gelatin, and then the GSP/gelatin/AgNPs mixed solution was electrospun into nanofibers at 55 °C. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) confirmed that the composite fibers were uniform and the average fiber diameter ranged between 150 nm and 230 nm with an increase in applied potentials from 14 kV to 22 kV. And the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that silver nanoparticles distributed individually in the fibers with the average particle size of about 11 nm. Furthermore, the ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer (UV-vis spectroscopy) test demonstrated that all of Ag+ converted to Ag0 when the concentration of gelatin was 24 wt% and the mass ratio of GSP to AgNO3 was about 5:2. The antibacterial activities of the fiber membranes against E.coli and S.aureus were measured via a shake flank test and demonstrated good performance after the importation of silver nanopaticles. Cytotoxicity testing also revealed that fiber membranes contained silver nanoparticles had no cyto-toxic. All the results indicated that the GSP was effective for the formation and stabilization of silver nanoparticles in composite nanofibers mats which had the potential for applications in antimicrobial tissue engineering and wound dressing.  相似文献

As a kind of high-performance fibers, PTFE fiber has been widely used in many fields because of its unique characteristics. In this study, the poly(tetrafloroethylene) (PTFE) nanofibers manufactured by electrospinning method was reported. The gel-spinning solution of poly(tetrafluoroethylene)/poly(vinyl alcohol)/boric acid (PTFE/PVA/BA), which was prepared by the gel process of the mixture of PTFE, PVA, BA and redistilled water, was electrospun to form PTFE/PVA/BA composite nanofibers. After calcinating, the PTFE nanofibers with diameters of 200 nm to 1000 nm were obtained. The fibers before and after calcinating were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-IR spectrum analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively, and the mechanical and hydrophobic properties of the fibers were also investigated. The results showed that the PTFE nanofiber membranes could be electrospun effectively used the gel-spinning solution of PTFE/PVA/BA, and may realize the applications in the fields of high-temperature filtration, catalyst supports, battery separator and so on.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to prepare nanofibers loaded with montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) inhibitor, with anti-inflammatory properties effective on wound healing. Polymeric nanofibers containing montelukast were spun by electrospinning method using different ratios of the blend of two biodegradable polymers of poly(methyl vinyl etherco-maleic acid) (PMVEMA) and poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) at the total polymer concentration of 37 %, the distance of the needle to rotating screen of 19 cm, the voltage of 12 Kv and the rate of injection of 0.2 ml/h. The ratio of two polymers in the blend and the concentration of montelukast were optimized based on the diameter of the nanofibers, drug loading percent and release efficiency by a full factorial design. The morphology, diameter and diameter distribution of the nanofibers were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Drug loading percent in the nanofibers was determined by extracting the loaded drug from a specific surface of the nanofibers which was subsequently analyzed spectrophotometrically. The drug release rate from the nanofibers was studied in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.4) containing 0.5 % Tween 20 at predetermined time intervals until 10 days. The cytotoxicity of the designed nanofibers was evaluated on mouse fibroblast cells using trypan blue method, their platelet adherence property was quantified by measuring the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity and confirmed by SEM micrographs. The optimized ratio of PLGA/PMVEMA was 3:1 with the total concentration of polymers as 37 % loaded with 30 % of montelukast produced nanofibers with a diameter of 157.6 nm, drug loading percent of 43.7 % and release efficiency of 75 % after 10 days. The cell viability was similar in nanofibers and the negative control group. The platelets adhesion to the nanofibers was more than the negative control group (p<0.05).  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

Meta-aramid fibers were dissolved in four different solvent systems (DMAc, DMF, NMP, and DMSO) and two kinds of salts (LiCl and CaCl2) were also introduced in this paper. Meta-aramid fibers had a limited solubility in above four solvents, however, fast dissolution could be obtained after adding a certain amount of salt (LiCl or CaCl2). The concentration of salts was found to be an important role in affecting meltaging, dissolving time and viscosity of electrospun solution. Electrospun meta-aramid nanofibers mats were successfully prepared. A series of characterizations had been carried out by using SEM. The results shows the diameter of meta-aramid nanofibers ranging from 100 to 500 nm. The average diameter of the nanofibers increased with the concentration of meta-aramid fiber solution and the salt solution. A preferable morphology of meta-aramid nanofibers could be obtained under LiCl/DMAc system. While the electrospun nanofibers made in CaCl2/DMAc solvent system had a better performance in thermal stability than that prepared in LiCl/DMAc system. Among the four kinds of prepared nanofibers, the nanofibersmat electrospun in LiCl/DMAc system with a concentration of meta-aramid solution at 11 wt% exhibit the best mechanical properties.  相似文献

In this study, electrospinning of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and its optimum preparation conditions were examined in detail using various solvent systems, such as formic acid, dichloromethane/dimethyl formamide (DMF), chloroform/DMF, and dichloroethane. The average fiber diameter of the electrospun PCL mat was controlled by the solvent used with a proper concentration of PCL dope solution. Different fiber sizes (0.1, 0.8, 1.9, and 3.4 μm) of uniform PCL mats were fabricated and the effects of fiber size on surface morphology, tensile properties and cell behavior were investigated. Here, we manipulated much broader range of average fiber diameter of the mats, from nano to several micron size of fiber. It was found that the fiber diameter greatly affected topology (surface roughness) and mechanical properties of the electrospun PCL mat and consequently, they influenced the cell behavior (adhesion and proliferation) significantly. We expect that these results will provide more feasible application of electrospun PCL scaffold in tissue engineering through the co-relations in structure and property of PCL fiber mat on cell behavior.  相似文献

The electrospinnability of aloe vera gel and the release mechanism as well as the kinetic of its release from poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibrous matrix is reported. Addition of PVA by an amount of only 1 % (w/w) to aloe vera solution made its electrospinning possible leading, to the fabrication of aloe vera nanofiber (99 %) with an average diameter of around 80 nm. Electrospinning of aloe vera-PVA solutions (25-75, 50-50, 75-25) led to the fabrication of nanofibers with average diameter of around 55, 105 and 110 nm, respectively. FTIR analysis showed no reaction between aloe vera and PVA. X-ray diffraction patterns showed no considerable effect from aloe vera on the amorphous structure of PVA. The release mechanism of aloe vera from PVA matrix in phosphate buffer solution was of Ficki type and the kinetic of the release followed Higuchi model. Aloe vera or aloe vera-PVA electrospun nanofibers may be used as an aloe vera release system in wound care. In a phosphate buffer solution, at least 60 percent of aloe vera is released in the first hour and about 90 % of aloe vera is released in 2-4 hours depending on the diameter of the nanofibers.  相似文献

The concept of phase separation was coupled with electrospinning to induce polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polystyrene (PS) bicomponent electrospun fibers that, upon removal of the phase-separated PS domains by solvent extraction, became nanoporous. Electrospinning of PAN (Mw 150 kDa) with 5 % w/w PS (Mw 250 kDa) at a 10 % w/w total concentration in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) produced fibers with stable morphology and average diameters from 1130±680 to 890±340 nm by FESEM. The nanoporous fibers made from a 95/5 w/w PAN/PS bicomponent precursor had internal pores of about 20∼110 nanometers. Pore sizes of the porous PAN fibers were decreased to approximately ∼25 nm after oxidation and carbonization thermal treatment because of fiber shrinkage during the thermal treatment. The fibers retained a high density of pores after the thermal treatment.  相似文献

In this study, two composite nanofibrous membranes of Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) and [poly(vinylidenefluorideco-hexafluoropropylene)] (PVDF-co-HFP) prepared by the electrospinning process were employed in a direct contact membrane distillation (DCMD) system. We changed the pump flow rate and temperature difference to examine their effects on permeate flux and salt rejection. The SEM observations, porosity analyzer technique, and contact angle measurement indicated the nanobrous membrane with an average fiber diameter of 170 nm and maximum pore diameter distribution of 0.3 ??m is the best membrane for the DCMD system. However, the ability of the hydrophobic membrane affects the filtration efficiency of the DCMD system. The contact angle of the PVDF-HFP electrospun membrane (128°) shows better hydrophobic than the PVDF electrospun membrane (125 °). From the experiment of 12 hours, the salt rejection of PVDFHFP (99.9901 %) was better than that of PVDF composite membrane (99.9888 %) and was almost the same as that of the PTFE commercial membrane (99.9951 %). In addition, the permeate flux of the PVDF-HFP composite membrane is 4.28 kg/ m2hr higher than the PTFE commercial membrane.  相似文献
