Electrospun curcumin-loaded polymer nanofibers: solution recipes, process parameters, properties, and biological activities

Abstract

This review summarizes the latest data about electrospun curcumin-loaded polymer nanofibers: solution formulations, technological parameters, biological and antibacterial activity.

Acute transplantation of NPC on electrospun poly-lactic acid membranes containing curcumin into the injured spinal cord reduces neuronal degeneration

“…We functionalized electrospun PLA membranes during electrospinning by including curcumin solubilized in DMSO in the electrospinning solution. This process modifies the surface topography of the nanofibers, as previously described in comparable manufacturing procedures (Snetkov et al, 2022), which can allow control over surface roughness to enhance the adsorption of extracellular matrix proteins and thus improve cell adherence (Ibrahim and Klingner, 2020). As the PLA-curcumin membranes supported a reduced NPC migration into the injured spinal cord, we hypothesized that this surface modification might increase NPC adhesion to the membrane.…”

Electrospun PAN/CuO/curcumin composite nanofiber mats for efficient antimicrobial face masks

“…Notably, as the concentration of CuO and curcumin in the PAN solution increases, the mixture's viscosity rises, posing challenges in the manufacturing process of nanofibers. [38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] For understanding purposes, PAN was represented as sample P, the PAN/CuO samples were named PC74, PC76, and PC78, and the PAN/CuO/curcumin samples were named PCC7404, PCC7406, PCC7408, PCC7604, PCC7606, PCC7608, PCC7804, PCC7806, and PCC7808.…”
