Poly( -caprolactone)/chitosan (PCL/chitosan) blend nanofibers with different ratios of chitosan were electrospun from a formic acid/acetic acid (FA/AA) solvent system. Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein to incorporate biochemical cues into the nanofibrous scaffolds. The morphological characteristics of PCL/chitosan and PCL/chitosan/BSA Nanofibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to detect the presence of polymeric ingredients and BSA in the Nanofibers. The effects of the polymer blend ratio and BSA concentration on the morphological characteristics and consequently on the BSA release pattern were evaluated. The average fiber diameter and pore size were greater in Nanofibers containing BSA. The chitosan ratio played a significant role in the BSA release profile from the PCL/chitosan/BSA blend. Nanofibrous scaffolds with higher chitosan ratios exhibited less intense bursts in the BSA release profile.

“…Natural biopolymers such as Chiton, chitosan, gum tragacanth, and guar gum blended with synthetic biocompatible polymers (PVA or PEO) have been reported to be suitable for producing electrospun membranes [145][146][147][148][149][150]. Very recently, natural tree polymers such as GA, GK, and KG have undergone electrospinning and the system and process parameters have been standardised to produce smooth and uniform nanofibres [151][152][153][154][155].…”

Abstract:The recent advances and potential applications of nanoparticles and nanofibres for energy, water, food, biotechnology, the environment, and medicine have immensely conversed. The present review describes a 'green' method for the synthesis and stabilization of nanoparticles and 'green electrospinning' both using tree gums (arabic, tragacanth, karaya and kondagogu). Furthermore, this review focuses on the impending applications of both gum stabilized nanoparticles and functionalized membranes in remediation of toxic metals, radioactive effluents, and the adsorptive removal of nanoparticulates from aqueous environments as well as from industrial effluents. Besides, the antibacterial properties of gum derivatives, gum stabilized nanoparticles, and functionalized electrospun nanofibrous membranes will also be highlighted. The functionalities of nanofibrous membranes that can be enhanced by various plasma treatments (oxygen and methane, respectively) will also be emphasized.

[64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71] Kitozanın, polivinil alkol, polikaprolakton, poli (L-laktit), poli(Llaktit)/poli(etilen glikol), polietilenoksit, kollajen kombinasyonları ile hazırlanan nanolif yapısındaki yara örtüleriyle başarılı sonuçlar alınmıştır. [72][73][74][75][76][77] Elektro-çekim yöntemiyle hazırlanan nanolif yapısındaki yara örtülerinin üretiminde kullanılan biyopolimerler için uygun çözücü seçimi çok önemlidir.…”
