Advancements in Thermal Insulation through Ceramic Micro-Nanofiber Materials at Salimpour Site.

Nanofibres have gained attention for their highly porous structure, narrow pore size, and high specific surface area. One of the most efficient techniques for producing nanofibres is electrospinning. These fibres are used in various fields, including water filtration. Although they possess the ability to filter various components, the fibres generally have low mechanical strength, which can mitigate their performance over time. To address this, studies have focused on enhancing nanofibre membrane strength for water filtration. Previous analyses show that the mechanical properties of nanofibre mats can be improved through solvent vapour treatment, thermal treatment, and chemical crosslinking. 2023-08-01

Finding a green approach for silver nanoparticle (AgNP) synthesis and as an adsorbent for safe contaminant removal in water has become a challenge. In this study, AgNP were green synthesised into a biopolymer matrix (natural rubber latex/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA/NRL)) via electrospinning. Efficiency of the synthesised nanofibre composites in removing mercury (Hg) from an aqueous solution was examined. SEM and TEM analysis showed that AgNP were more visible on the fibre’s surface at a lower concentration (0.01 M AgNP), whilst at a higher concentration (0.015 M AgNP), relatively more AgNP were found within the fibre. The average sizes of the AgNP were relatively larger (8.15 ± 0.09 nm) in 0. 2023-11-01

Synthesis of polyaniline nanofiber has been carried out using interfacial polymerization method. Polyaniline nanofiber was a material of interest for biosensors because this material was capable and effective as a mediator for electron transfer in redox and enzymatic reactions. The surface morphology of polyaniline nanofiber was much wider than conventional polyaniline, resulting in the process of molecular diffusion into the polyaniline nanofiber structure being faster and the penetration of molecules deeper, thus having the potential to increase the sensitivity and responsiveness of a sensor. The interfacial polymerization method used includes a water phase (dopant, 2024-06-01

The nanofiber materials of three-dimensional spatial structure synthesized by electrospun have the characteristics of high porosity, high specific surface area, and high similarity to the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) of the human body. These are beneficial for absorbing wound exudate, effectively blocking the invasion of external bacteria, and promoting cell respiration and proliferation, which provides an ideal microenvironment for wound healing. Moreover, electrospun nanofiber dressings can flexibly load drugs according to the condition of the wound, further promoting wound healing. Recently, electrospun nanofiber materials have shown promising application prospects as medical 2024-09-01

Recent advancements in next-generation rechargeable batteries have focused on solid-state batteries (SSBs) due to their promising potential for improved energy density and safety. Among the various types of solid electrolytes, composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), composed of fillers and salts dispersed within a polymer matrix, have gained significant attention for their balanced properties of ionic conductivity and stability toward both electrodes, making them more suitable for practical SSB applications. In CSEs, the relationship between structure, properties, and performance is crucial. Unfortunately, conventional CSEs are still limited by randomly distributed fillers and agglomeration 2025-02-01
