Adhesion and Binding in Nanofibrous Materials

Abstract

Adhesion and binding are important properties of nanofibers for a variety of applications in materials for filters, protective devices, and in controlled release of bioactive molecules and tissue engineering. As an overview of researches on adhesion and binding in nanofibrous materials, this article discusses studies in adhesion between micro/nanoparticles and nanofibers, and provides an introduction to research work intended to enhance adhesion/binding between nanofibrous substrates and proteins/cells so as to improve the performance of nanofibrous scaffolds in tissue engineering.

Research on Properties of Flame Retardant Silk Georgette

“…The effort to reduce flammability of silk fabrics could be traced back to 200 years ago when people immersed silk fabrics in a mixture of borax and boric acid solution which was a non-durable process [4]. Subsequently, N-hydroxymethyl (3-dimethyl phosphono) propionamide and trimethylolmelamine (TMM) were introduced onto silk fabric to give flame retardancy.…”
