Modified tri–axial electrospun functional core–shell nanofibrous membranes for natural photodegradation of antibiotics

The Effect of Drug Heterogeneous Distributions within Core-Sheath Nanostructures on Its Sustained Release Profiles

“…Oral administration is the most favorable route for the patients [80]. Electrospinning is rapidly moving to the creation of nanofibers on a large scale [81]. Based on these two aspects, the medicated nanofibers developed in the present study can be further converted to oral dosage forms for potential commercial applications, such as tablets and capsules [82,83].…”

Electrospun Structural Hybrids of Acyclovir-Polyacrylonitrile at Acyclovir for Modifying Drug Release

“…In a single-fluid process, the working fluids must be electrospinnable for the preparation of nanofibers, or the resultant nanofiber would be degraded into electroprayed particles or even wet membranes in the collectors. When two or more simultaneous treatment fluids are used (such as coaxial, side-by-side, tri-axial processes), only one of them must be electrospinnable to support a successful electrospinning process [78][79][80]. In other words, unspinnable fluids can be treated with spinnable fluids simultaneously for the preparation of nanofibers.…”

Facile fabrication of electrospun g-C3N4/Bi12O17Cl2/poly(acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid) heterojunction nanofibers for boosting visible-light catalytic ofloxacin degradation

“…1–3 The electrospun nanomaterials possess many advantages, including high porosity, high surface area to volume ratio, good thermal stability, good connectivity, tunable wettability, fine flexibility, easy fabrication and functionalization, and therefore, more and more researchers have paid attention to their fabrication and applications for sensing, air filtration, water purification, heterogeneous catalysis, environmental protection, energy harvesting/conversion/storage, drug delivery/release, biomedical engineering, and so on. 1–8 At present, some E-spun photocatalytic materials (E-spun PCMs) such as electrospun Bi modified BiVO 4 , 8 polyvinylpyrrolidone/poly(vinylidene fluoride)/TiO 2 , 9 TiO 2 /g-C 3 N 4 , 10 graphene oxide/MIL-101(Fe)/poly(acrylonitrile- co -maleic acid), 11 pea-like TiO 2 @GO, 12 Pd decorated polydopamine-SiO 2 /PVA, 13 β-FeOOH/TiO 2 , 14 and polydopamine-coated tungsten oxide@poly(vinylidene fluoride- co -hexafluoropropylene) 15 have been developed and applied in the removal of organic pollutants from environmental water samples. These reported results demonstrated that the E-spun PCMs were efficient, stable, and easily recoverable photocatalysts for pollutant degradation, 9–15 and thus more novel E-spun PCMs are desired for pollutant removal.…”
