“…The broadening of the peak at 20° may be due to the presence of intramolecular hydrogen bonding of semicrystalline PVA . The diffraction peak at 24.2° was attributed to the secondary structure of SF (i.e., β-sheet conformation or silk I) and 28.43° (silk II), which was found on the surface of M1, M3, M5, and M6 scaffolds, respectively . Major peaks at 14.5 and 20.1° were identified for the hydrated crystalline structure of chitosan in the M3 and M6 nanofibrous mesh .…”

“…These natural green fibers have several benefits compared with synthetic fiber, which includes lighter weight, low density and cost, superior life cycle, biodegradability, and good mechanical properties [123]. The main sources of natural nanofibers for food packaging involve cellulose [15], chitosan from chitin [124], gelatin from collagen [107], and silk fibroin from silkworms [125], and starch-based polymers can also be used to produce biodegradable food packaging [126].…”

Natural resources including water, energy, and food have an increase in demand due to the global population increases. The sustainable management of these resources is an urgent global issue. These resources combined in a very vital nexus are called the water–energy–food (WEF) nexus. The field of nanotechnology offers promising solutions to overcome several problems in the WEF nexus. This review is the first report that focuses on the suggested applications of nanofibers in the WEF sectors. An economic value of nanofibers in WEF sectors was confirmed, which was mainly successfully applied for producing clean water, sustainable energy, and safe food. Biotechnological solutions of nanofibers include various activities in water, energy, and food industries. These activities may include the production of fresh water and wastewater treatment, producing, converting, and storing energy, and different activities in the food sector. Furthermore, microbial applications of nanofibers in the biomedicine sector, and the most important biotechnological approaches, mainly plant tissue culture, are the specific focus of the current study. Applying nanofibers in the field of plant tissue culture is a promising approach because these nanofibers can prevent any microbial contamination under in vitro conditions, but the loss of media by evaporation is the main challenge in this application. The main challenges of nanofiber production and application depend on the type of nanofibers and their application. Different sectors are related to almost all activities in our life; however, enormous open questions still need to be answered, especially the green approach that can be used to solve the accumulative problems in those sectors. The need for research on integrated systems is also urgent in the nexus of WEF under the umbrella of environmental sustainability, global climate change, and the concept of one’s health.

“…Researcher prepared polycaprolactone cell scaffolds containing diamond nanosheets by air-jet spinning, which not only improves the mechanical strength of scaffolds, but also promotes the cell proliferation, and can be extended to cell scaffolds required by various tissue engineering (AUGUSTINE et al, 2023). Tests showed that it is easier to form cylindrical uniform fibers by increasing the concentration of solute in the solution; while the low-concentration polymer solution will produce beaded structure and reduce the tensile properties of the fiber membrane although the fiber membrane will become thinner (YANG et al, 2023). The air-jet spinning technology with high efficiency, short preparation time and low solution requirement will be beneficial to the large-scale production of nanofibers and realize industrial production.…”

Soft electronics can seamlessly integrate with the human skin which will greatly improve the quality of life in the fields of healthcare monitoring, disease treatment, virtual reality, and human-machine interfaces. Currently, the stretchability of most soft electronics is achieved by incorporating stretchable conductors with elastic substrates. Among stretchable conductors, liquid metals stand out for their metal-grade conductivity, liquid-grade deformability, and relatively low cost. However, the elastic substrates usually composed of silicone rubber, polyurethane, and hydrogels have poor air permeability, and long-term exposure can cause skin redness and irritation. The substrates composed of fibers usually have excellent air permeability due to their high porosity, making them ideal substrates for soft electronics in long-term applications. Fibers can be woven directly into various shapes, or formed into various shapes on the mold by spinning techniques such as electrospinning. Here, we provide an overview of fiber-based soft electronics enabled by liquid metals. An introduction to the spinning technology is provided. Typical applications and patterning strategies of liquid metal are presented. We review the latest progress in the design and fabrication of representative liquid metal fibers and their application in soft electronics such as conductors, sensors, and energy harvesting. Finally, we discuss the challenges of fiber-based soft electronics and provide an outlook on future prospects.
