Thermo-responsive electrospun nanofibers doped with 1,10-phenanthroline-based fluorescent sensor for metal ion detection

Recent advances in electrospun magnetic nanofibers and their applications

“…Among them, electrospun functional nanofibers are nanofibers composed of metals, metal oxides, and sulfates, as well as ceramics or composites of such materials with organic polymers. They display properties such as fluorescence, 7 electroluminescence, 8 conductivity, [9][10][11][12] photovoltaic effects, 13 photocatalytic effects 14,15 and ferromagnetism 16 that can be applied in optical and electronic sensors, 13 lithium ion batteries, 17 fuel cells, 18 and solar cells, 19 as well as energy harvesting 20 and storage systems. 21…”

A review of smart electrospun fibers toward textiles

“…For instance, some introduced moieties designed to exhibit crosslinking function can provide P(NIPAM) with insolubility even in an environment with lower temperature than LCST. In one study, Chen et al [ 77 ]. selected N-hydroxymethyl-acrylamide (NMA) cross-linked P(NIPAM) electrospun nanofibers as the carrier doped with an 1,10-phenanthroline-based fluorescent sensor (F-phen) for detection of metal ions.…”

Functionalized Electrospun Nanofibers as a Versatile Platform for Colorimetric Detection of Heavy Metal Ions in Water: A Review

“…In addition, the PNNR nanofibers also shown on/off switchable sensing characteristics with response to temperature change attributed to the hydrophilic-hydrophobic transition of PNIPAAm [73]. An identical copolymerization and electrospinning approach with various functional sensing moieties have also been adopted for the development of electrospun nanofiber-based colorimetric sensors to detect the Cu 2+ [74,75].…”
