“…The increment may be attributed to the higher gold content of the copolymer. In addition, increasing conductivity decreases the flow resistance of the polymer solution so that the higher feed rate requirement results in the formation of thicker fibers [32]. Figure 5 presents the representative SEM micrographs of PPEG 3350-3 copolymer film and electrospun PPEG 8000-1 fiber.…”

Since the dissolution of polyolefins is a chronic problem, melt processing has been tacitly accepted as an obligation. In this work, polypropylene (PP) was modified on molecular level incorporating poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as graft segment (PP-g-PEG) in a range of 6 to 9 mol%. Gold nanoparticles were nucleated in the presence of the copolymer chains via redox reaction. The dissolution of the amphiphilic comb-type graft copolymers containing gold nanoparticles (80 nm in diameter) was achieved in toluene and successfully electrospun from its solution. The diameter of composite fibers was in the range from 0.3 to 2.5 µm. The design of the structurally organized copolymer fiber mats provided a support medium for the nanoparticles enhancing the active surface area for the catalytic applications. The resulting composite fibers exhibited rapid catalytic reduction of methylene blue (MB) dye in the presence of sodium borohydride (NaBH 4 ) compared to corresponding composite cast film.

“…Electrospinning is a simple method to produce nanofibers that is similar to the collagen part of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Fibers produced by this method have the features of large surface-to-volume ratio, and high porosity that are needed for tissue engineering, by which nanofibers allow better cellular spreading, attachment and supply efficient nutrient to the cells (Hezma et al 2017;El-Rafei 2015;El-Rafei et al 2017).…”

Osteoarthritis (OA) has been defined as a chronic inflammatory joint disease characterized by progressive articular cartilage degeneration. Recently growing interest in regenerative medicine, using cell therapy and tissue engineering, where cellular components in combination with engineered scaffolds and bioactive materials were used to induce functional tissue regeneration. In the present study, nanofibrous scaffold based on chitosan (CS)/poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were used to develop biologically functionalized biomaterial to mimic the extracellular matrix, allowing the human adipose tissue derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) to proliferate and differentiate to chondrogenic cells. The morphology of the nanofibrous mat was examined using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE/SEM). The characteristic functional groups and the nature of the chemical bonds between atoms were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum. Characterization of the seeded cells was morphologically evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and by flow cytometry for the expression of the stem cell surface markers. The differentiation potential was verified after chondrogenic induction by analyzing the expression of chondrogenic marker genes using real-time (RT PCR). Current study suggest significant potential for the use of ADSCs with the nanofibrous scaffolds in improving the osteoarthritis pathology.

“…9,10 It is also a starting material for manufacturing manganese zinc ferrite used as so magnetic materials and lithium manganese oxides used as electrode materials due to its low cost and great environmental compatibility. Considerable interest has been paid to synthesizing Mn 3 O 4 nanostructures, 11,12 for instance, nanoparticles, [13][14][15][16] nanorods, 17,18 nanowires or nanobers, 19,20 nanoplates, 21 superlattices 22 and hierarchical nanostructures. [23][24][25][26][27][28] Among these, hierarchical Mn 3 O 4 nanostructures take advantage of both nanometer-sized building blocks and micro-sized assemblies.…”
