In this study, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) tree-like nanofiber membrane was fabricated via one-step electrospinning by adding a small amount of tetrabutylammonium chloride (TBAC). On the basis of the "push and pull" effect, double-layer membranes composed of pure TPU nanofiber membranes (hydrophobic) and TPU/TBAC tree-like nanofiber membranes (hydrophilic) were prepared by the direct electrospinning compounding method. The double-layer membranes were used as waterproof breathable materials with moisture unidirectional transport properties and good shielding properties. The water resistance, mechanical, waterproof, moisture permeability, air permeability, air filtration and moisture unidirectional transport performances of the double-layer membranes were tested. The results showed that the double-layer TPU membranes displayed good performances compared with the existing products on the market; they provide a new approach for the development of waterproof breathable materials.

Biodegradable and biocompatible soy protein/polymer/adhesive sticky nano-textured interfacial membranes for prevention of esca fungi invasion into pruning cuts and wounds of vines

Adhesive biodegradable membranes (patches) for the protection of pruning locations of plants from esca fungi attacks were developed using electrospun soy protein/polyvinyl alcohol and soy protein/ polycaprolactone nanofibers. Several different water-soluble adhesives were either added directly to the electrospinning solutions or electrosprayed onto the as-spun nanofiber mats. The nanofibers were deposited onto a biodegradable rayon membrane, and are to be pressed onto the pruned location on a plant. The pore size in the nanofiber mats is sufficient for physically blocking fungi penetration, while the outside rayon membrane provides sufficient mechanical support in handling prior to deposition on a plant. Diseases like Vine Decline are one of the most important cases where such a remedy would be needed. It should be emphasized that these novel biodegradable and sticky patches are radically different from the ordinary electrospun ultra-filtration membranes. The normal and shear specific adhesive energy of the patches were measured, and the results show that they can withstand strong wind without being blown off. On the other hand, the patches possess sufficient porosity for plant breathing.

“…This fracture characteristic is considered to be due to weak interfacial adhesion between PLA and HAp [10]. Interfacial adhesion failure is responsible for the occurrence of cracks at the interface in the nanofiber [11]. To improve the mechanical properties of HAp/PLA composite nanofibers for bone tissue engineering, the improvement of interfacial properties between PLA and HA is an important issue to be overcome.…”

In recent years, bone tissue engineering has been getting attention. The basic elements of bone tissue engineering include the following: an appropriate cell source, optimal culture conditions and a biodegradable scaffold. The scaffold which is worked as an extra cellular matrix to organize cells into a threedimensional structure is used as a space filling material. Nanofibers are expected to be used as the scaffold because their small sizes are close to the structural dimension of the extra cellular matrix of native tissues and organs. Thermoplastic polymers have been spun into nanofibers by the electrospinning method that applies a high voltage to polymer solution. Among many thermoplastic polymers, PLA is expected to be used for the scaffold because of its biocompatibility, bioabsorbability and mechanical properties. To obtain better affinity properties of PLA nanofiber scaffold with the bone, compounding of hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles that have the same composition formula with the human bone has been conducted and cell culture properties have been evaluated. It is known that HAp form clusters in the polymer solution because of their high surface activity, and the clusters cause reduction of nanofiber strength. Surface modification of HAp is needed to disperse HAp in the nanofiber. Since the mechanical characteristics of the scaffold are important for providing sufficient temporary mechanical support to withstand in vitro stresses, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical property. In this study, HAp/PLA composite nanofibers are fabricated by electrospinning, and their mechanical properties are evaluated by tensile tests of nonwoven fabrics. HAp/PLA nanofiber nonwoven fabric showed lower tensile strength compared to PLA nanofiber nonwoven fabrics. By dispersing HAp uniformly in the nanofibers, HAp/PLA nanofiber nonwoven fabrics tended to show high strength.
