“…Therefore, the fibers' diameters and diameter distribution are increased by graphene addition that results in the mechanical strength improving. Since we applied the standard tensile test in all strain-stress experiments the sizes, thicknesses and weights of the examined specimens were equal, and the mass of the electrospun mat did not affect the results [38][39][40][41].…”

Abstract:A new strategy to induce superhydrophobicity via introducing hierarchical structure into the polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film was explored in this study. For this purpose nanofibrous composite films were prepared by electrospinning of PVDF and PVDF/graphene blend solution as the main precursors to produce a net-like structure. Various spectroscopy and microscopy methods in combination with crystallographic and wettability tests were used to evaluate the characteristics of the synthesized films. Mechanical properties have been studied using a universal stress-strain test. The results show that the properties of the PVDF nanofibrous film are improved by compositing with graphene. The incorporation of graphene flakes into the fibrous polymer matrix changes the morphology, enhances the surface roughness, and improves the hydrophobicity by inducing a morphological hierarchy. Superhydrophobicity with the water contact angle of about 160° can be achieved for the PVDF/graphene electrospun nanocomposite film in comparison to PVDF pristine film.

“…Polymer fibres having diameters ranging from a few nanometers up to some microns can be successfully used in a wide variety of applications, like reinforcements in nanocomposites [1], nanowires and nanotubes [2] and tissue engineering [3][4][5]. In particular, fibres can be useful in vascular tissue engineering, since an artery can be regarded as a fibre-reinforced structure composed of a protein fibre network and cells, which determine the particular mechanical properties of that vessel [6].…”

“…Different methods are reported to produce biomimetic non-woven materials comprising a large network of interconnected fibers and pores (1,2). A large number of biomacromolecules, such as poly(ε-caprolactone), poly(lactic acid), poly(lactide-coglycoside), collagen, and gelatin have been successfully fabricated into non-woven mats by the electrospinning method (3)(4)(5). Especially, a series of electrospun nanofibers based on chitin and chitosan have gained a great attention owing to their extensive biomedical applications in such as tissue engineering scaffolds and drug delivery (6).…”

Abstract. A poly(vinylalcohol) (PVA) electrospun/magnetic/chitosan nanocomposite fibrous cross-linked network was fabricated using in situ cross-linking electrospinning technique and used for bovine serum albumin (BSA) loading and release applications. Sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) and glutaraldehyde (GA) were used as cross-linkers which modified magnetic-Fe 3 O 4 chitosan as Fe 3 O 4/ CS/TPP and Fe 3 O 4/ CS/GA, respectively. BSA was used as a model protein drugs which was encapsulated to form Fe 3 O 4 /CS/TPP/BSA and Fe 3 O 4 /CS/GA/BSA nanoparticles. The composites were electrospun with PVA to form nanofibers. Nanofibers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The characterization results suggest that Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles with average size of 45 nm were successfully bound on the surface of chitosan. The cross-linked nanofibers were found to contain uniformly dispersed Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. The size and morphology of the nanofibers network was controlled by varying the cross-linker type. FTIR data show that these two polymers have intermolecular interactions. The sample with TPP cross-linker showed an enhancement of the controlled release properties of BSA during 30-h experimental investigation.
