Electrospinning has gained wide attention recently in biomedical applications. Electrospun biocompatible scaffolds are well-known for biomedical applications such as drug delivery, wound dressing, and tissue engineering applications. In this review, the synthesis of polymer-based fiber composites using an electrospinning technique is discussed. Formerly, metal particles were then deposited on the surface of electrospun fibers using sputtering technology. Key nanometals for biomedical applications including silver and copper nanoparticles are discussed throughout this review. The formulated scaffolds were found to be suitable candidates for biomedical uses such as antibacterial coatings, surface modification for improving biocompatibility, and tissue engineering. This review briefly mentions the characteristics of the nanostructures while focusing on how nanostructures hold potential for a wide range of biomedical applications.
Organic semiconductors gain wide interest in academics and industr y over past two decades due to their vital applications in flexible optoelectronic devices such as organic field effect transistors (OFETs) and organic photovoltaics (OPVs). S tabilit y of the semiconducting materials under different environmental conditions (presence of oxygen, moisture) is impor tant for photovoltaic devices. Although p-t ype organic semiconducting materials are well developed, their counter par ts n-t ype organic semiconductors with optimum air stabilit y and good operational performance are less developed. Per ylene derivatives are well known n-t ype organic semiconductor materials used in variet y of optoelectronic applications. Although per ylene derivatives are good n-t ype semiconductor materials but the devices made of per ylene diimides are lacking stabilit y at operational ambient conditions. Therefore, the design and synthesis of air-stable per ylene diimide based n-t ype materials is an urgent research endeavor in the field of optoelectronics.Here we repor t the synthesis, characterization and optoelectronic proper ties of perfluoroalkylated per ylene diimide based n-t ype pol ymers such as Pol y[9,9-dioct ylfluorene-2,7-diyl-alt-N,N'-di(trifluo romethylphenyl)-3,4,9,10 per ylene diimide-1,7-diyl]. These pol ymers showed three absor ption peaks characteristic of per ylene diimides. We obser ved significant red shif t for thin films of pol ymers when compared to pol ymers in solutions. These pol ymers can have potential applications in flexible pol ymers solar cells as well as in OFETs as electron acceptor materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
