Fabrication of Fibrous Materials Based on Cyclodextrin and Egg Shell Waste as an Affordable Composite for Dental Applications

Abstract

In this study, the fibrous nanostructures based on cyclodextrin from egg shell waste were fabricated using electrospinning technique under optimal conditions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal stability analysis and abrasion testing were used to characterise the final products. The cyclodextrin nanofibrous products were used as new nanostructures in the field of dental coatings due to the obtained properties such as uniform shape, small particle size distribution, high thermal stability and optimal abrasion resistance. The DFT calculations confirmed the chemical stability of the final products. The MTT test results confirmed that the fibrous nanocoatings of the egg shell have no significant side effects on healthy cells. These fibrous nanostructures could be a promising candidate for use as a dental nanocoating material.

Hybrids of SiO2 substrate and electrospun Ni-MOF/polysulfone fibers for an efficient removal of CH4 gas pollution

“…By using electrospinning, it is possible to produce different nanofibers with different compositions such as, Phellinus igniarius (Jiang et al, 2022), and multiple applications such as Piezoelectric Properties (Bai et al, 2022). On the other hand, it can mix a series of functional ingredients on the host polymers to form a functional composite or hybrid (Amini et al, 2022), which include little molecules (Kang et al, 2020), cells and bacterials (Pant, Tiwari), organic/inorganic nanoparticles (Zhao et al, 2021b) and MOFs (Zhu and Kim, 2022). Another capability of nanofibers is the synthesis of tri-layer nanodepots with various applications, including sustained release of acyclovir (Wang et al, 2020), fast helicide delivery (Liu et al, 2022).…”
