Electrospinning Fabrication of Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Coptis chinensis Extract Nanofibers for Antimicrobial Exploits

Abstract: Coptis chinensis (CC) is used in conventional Chinese medicine. The main active components of CC are isoquinoline alkaloids, including berberine, coptisine, palmatine, and magnoflorine; all these are known to have several pharmacological properties. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is a well-known synthetic biocompatible polymer suitable for a range of pharmaceutical uses; it can be used as a matrix for the incorporation of functional materials and has a wide range of applications in the cosmetics, food, pharmaceutic… Show more

“…Furthermore, BBR has a large charge density, and the large charge density increases the self-repulsion and the stretching force when droplet passes through the electrostatic field, also leads to the decrease of fiber diameter 27 . Our results are consistent with previous researchers 28 , 29 . With the fiber diameter decreasing, scaffold with higher porosity can be obtained.…”

“…Another biological material well-known for its good mechanical properties is the mycelium of different fungi. Usually, reports about fungicide properties of diverse nanofiber mats can be found in the scientific literature dealing with nanofiber mats and mentioning fungi [21,22,23,24,25]. Only very few studies investigate interactions between fungi and nanofiber mats in which the fungi grow on polymeric material.…”
