On incidence of kidney failure, the concentration of urea increases and there is need for patients to visit the hospital all through the week for blood purification. However, current hemodialysis has been found to reduce only 66‐75% urea in the blood of patients. The main goal of this article is to observe the effect of biocompatible and high mechanical hemodiafiltration in reducing urea and creatinine within the shortest time frame, using two methods of Nano electrospinning fiber (hybrid and coaxial). Hybrid electrospinning was made by zeolite 940‐HOA(beta), Fe3O4, polyacrylonitrile as well as the addition of nettle plant's leaf extract. Dispersing solution and enzymes were added to two different syringes and was used in making hybrid nanofibers by the electrospinning process. Nessler's Reagent adsorption method was used for measuring the concentration of ammonia after urease enzyme activation. Second coaxial filter was made by the core‐shell electrospinning system and cellulose acetate phthalate (CAP) as well as polyurethane (PU) were utilized. The data show hybrid hemodiafiltration with enzyme coating, decomposed urea and enzymes were activated for two days after electrospinning. The core‐shell filtration can also reduce creatinine. Core‐shell CAP‐PU nanofiber was previously used for intravaginal drug delivery and PU was used as an artificial renal microfluidic chip. Thus, our study focused on using CAP‐PU to reduce creatinine in dialysis patients. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Biomed Mater Res Part A: 107A: 1736–1743, 2019.

“…Some researchers used nanofillers interleaving to study the performance of modified composites . There exist many different methods to fabricate nanofibers, including drawing, electrospinning, self‐assembly, template synthesis, and thermal‐induced phase separation . Electrospinning is a commonly used technique for generating large quantities of nanofibers, benefitting from a straightforward setup, the ability to mass‐produce continuous nanofibers from various polymers, and the capability to generate ultrathin fibers with controllable diameters, compositions, and orientations via tuning the electrospinning parameters.…”

Composite materials are increasingly being used as an accepted alternative to traditional structural materials throughout the globe for various engineering applications. Because of their superior properties and flexibility, these materials are beginning to find innumerable applications replacing existing materials, especially in high‐performance engineering domains. The electrospinning process adds a further dimension to enhance the properties of the composite material family by incorporating fibers at their microscale to even sub‐nanoscale, enabling the development of advanced composites with enhanced properties. Over the past decades, much research work has understandably been done on these exciting materials. This paper aims to comprehensively map some of the trends in electrospun nanofiber interleaved laminated composite development, marking the milestones achieved and challenges faced. A brief review of the potential applications for these materials will also be put forward in the research outlook for these advanced nanoengineered composites.

“…[43][44][45] When the electrostatic forces on the fluid (droplets) overcome the surface tension, the fluid droplet deforms to a conical shape called a Taylor cone and is accelerated to the collector in the form of nanofibers. [46][47][48][49] Electrospinning has recently been reported as an elegant approach for shaping various MOFs into hybrid materials with multiscale porosity and additional functionalities. Mostly polymer nanofibers are produced by electrospinning but also metal, ceramic-based nanofibers have been obtained.…”

organic linkers with a periodic, nanoscaled structure and ultrahigh surface areas. With their tunable pore/cage sizes, flexible skeleton, and large surface-to-volume ratio, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] MOFs have a large potential for a wide range of applications, including gas storage and separation, rechargeable batteries, supercapacitors, solar cells, nanoreactors, heterogeneous catalysis, or drug delivery. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Recently, significant efforts have been devoted to the design and synthesis of new MOFs structures and the investigation of their physical or chemical properties. MOFs are generally prepared as bulk form through traditional hydrothermal or solvothermal synthesis. [28][29][30][31] In order to expand the application range, suitable pathways for the structuring of MOF powders into a functional architecture or devices are highly desirable.Currently, intensive efforts are focusing on the structuring of MOFs at the mesoscopic/macroscopic scale for the use as coatings, membranes, or sophisticated architectures in specific devices and applications. [32][33][34][35] A major difference in the structuring of MOFs into complex shapes compared to inorganic microporous materials, such as zeolites or silica, is the fact that most inorganic binders cannot be used for MOFs as these binders usually require heat treatment. The intrinsic fragility of MOFs needs to be considered which is related to the inorganic/organic hybrid character of this class of materials and the resulting limited thermal and mechanical stability. Alternatively, a more effective way to structure MOFs is the combination with polymer materials. The polymer which acts as a binder improves the mechanical flexibility and ensures chemical stability. Numerous methods have been developed for structuring MOF-polymer compositions including hard or soft templates, spin-or dip-coating, spray-drying, printing, or lithography approaches. [36][37][38] The integration of MOFs into a polymer matrix can result in poor MOF-polymer dispersion and compatibility issues owing to the different physical and chemical properties for the two kinds of materials and this is a challenge in some applications, e.g., in MOF-based mixed matrix membranes for gas separation. [39][40][41][42] The poor interfacial compatibility would lead to agglomeration of MOF particles, causing the formation of nonselective voids between the MOFs particles and the polymer.Electrospinning is a fabrication method to produce continuous ultrafine fibers with diameters in the range of a few tens of nanometers to a few micrometers in the form of nonwoven mats, yarns, etc. The mechanism of electrospinning is based Herein, recent developments of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) structured into nanofibers by electrospinning are summarized, including the fabrication, post-treatment via pyrolysis, properties, and use of the resulting MOF nanofiber architectures. The fabrication and post-treatment of the MOF nanofiber architectures are described systematically by two routes: i) the dire...
