Homogeneous electrospun regenerated cellulose nanofiber-based membrane adsorber for membrane chromatography applications 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

Wound management is a complex clinical challenge that needs advanced materials and techniques for satisfactory results. Electrospun nanofiber mats have emerged as an innovative alternative for wound healing purposes due to their porous architecture, greater surface area, ease of water absorption, mimicry of the extracellular matrix of natural tissues and tunable mechanical properties. This paper sheds light on recent advances in the fabrication techniques, properties, structural features and application of electrospun polymeric nanofiber mats for wound healing purposes emphasizing the importance of polymer selection and processing parameters in tailoring their physicochemical properties. 2024-12-01
