We investigate the electrospinning of small molecules, specifically designed peptide derivatives of the pyrazole-isothiazole scaffold. Such non-natural peptides enhance the spectrum of fundamental materials used for electrospinning. Unlike standard electrospun materials, our peptides are not polymeric, but able to aggregate in solution and especially during processing. They contain donor/acceptor groups that can form hydrogen bonds, and groups that are able to generate π-stacking interactions, which are known as important requirements for assembly processes. The pyrazole-isothiazole derivatives were synthesized by means of a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction, which is completely regioselective, affording only one isomer. We demonstrate that our compounds can be electrospun from fluoroalcohol solution into solid, quasi-endless micro- and nanofibers. The electrospinnability varies substantially, depending on the amino acids linked to the scaffold. Some compounds provide only short fibers, while Fmoc-glycyl-(N-benzyl)-pyrazole-isothiazole-tert-butyl carboxylate-1,1-dioxide forms continuous, homogenous, and bead-free fibers (droplet-like beads are a common problem in electrospinning). We analyzed the compounds and the fibers with various spectroscopic techniques (MS, IR and Raman). Electrospinning does not change chemical composition and configuration, suggesting the monomeric form of the compounds even in the fibers. Interestingly, we found that the stereochemistry of the scaffold can affect the ability of the peptide to be electrospun.

The fiber obtained by electrospinning technology is a kind of biomaterial with excellent properties, which not only has a unique micro–nanostructure that gives it a large specific surface area and porosity, but also has satisfactory biocompatibility and degradability (if the spinning material used is a degradable polymer). These biomaterials provide a suitable place for cell attachment and proliferation, and can also achieve immobilization. On the other hand, its large porosity and three-dimensional spatial structure show unique blocking properties in drug delivery applications in order to achieve the purpose of slow release or even controlled release. The immobilization effect or blocking effect of these materials is mainly reflected in the hollow or core–shell structure. The purpose of this paper is to understand the application of the electrospun fiber based on biodegradable polymers (aliphatic polyesters) in the biomedical field, especially the immobilization or blocking effect of the electrospun fiber membrane on cells, drugs or enzymes. This paper focuses on the performance of these materials in tissue engineering, wound dressing, drug delivery system, and enzyme immobilization technology. Finally, based on the existing research basis of the electrospun fiber in the biomedical field, a potential research direction in the future is put forward, and few suggestions are also given for the technical problems that urgently need to be solved.

The unique blocking and immobilization of electrospinning nanofibers play an important role in tissue engineering, wound dressings, drug delivery systems and other fields.  相似文献

Sub-nanometer materials have received wide attention due to their unique properties in recent years. Most studies focus on the preparation and properties investigation of the inorganic sub-nanometer materials, while there are few reports on organic especially polymeric sub-nanometer materials such as sub-nanometer fiber due to the obstacles with respect to fabricating such small nanofibers. In this work we prepare PAA nanofibers with diameters ranging from hundreds of nanometers down to sub-nanometer via electrospinning from a polyamic acid (PAA) with ultrahigh molecular weight. The morphologies and size of the electrospun ultrathin nanofibers are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM images combined with theoretic calculations show that sub-nanometer fiber of approximate 0.17–0.63 nm only containing one molecular chain was generated via electrospinning from ultra-dilute PAA solutions for the first time. These quite small sub-nanometer fibers would open a new area of electrospinning and provide further explorations on the production and application of electrospun sub-nanometer fibers with single molecular chains.

Electrospun fibrous scaffolds have attracted much research interest due to their many applications in orthopedics and other relevant fields. However, poor surface bioactivity of the polymer scaffold body significantly limits the implementation of many potential applications, and an effective solution remains a great challenge for researchers. Herein, a highly efficient method, namely pulsed electrochemical deposition (ED) with co-electrospinning nano-Ag dopant, to fabricate poly(l-lactic acid) (PLLA)/nano-Ag composite fibers is presented. The resulting product demonstrated excellent antibacterial properties, as well as strong capabilities in facilitating the precipitation of calcium phosphate crystals at fiber surfaces and in promoting osteogenic differentiation. In the process of ED, the conductivity of the fibers was observed to increase due to the nano-Ag dopant. Upon applying pulse signals when charging, water electrolysis occurred in micro-reactive regions of anodic fibers, forming OH, an alkaline environment that allowed the supersaturation of calcium phosphate. When discharging, the calcium phosphate in the solution diffused rapidly and reduced the concentration polarization, reforming a homogeneous electrolyte. The realization of efficient bioactive coatings at fiber surfaces was achieved in a highly efficient manner by repeating the above charging and discharging processes. Therefore, ED can be adopted to simplify and accelerate the fabrication process of an osteogenetic and antibacterial electrospun fibrous scaffold.

Polystyrene (PS) electrospun nanofibers were prepared via electrospinning for the adsorption of clonazepam from aqueous solution. The adsorption conditions such as adsorption time, solution pH and the amount of adsorbent were optimized. The adsorption kinetics and thermodynamic properties of clonazepam on PS nanofibers were studied under optimized conditions. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model can fit well the adsorption process of clonazepam on polystyrene nanofibers, indicating that the diffusion process in the fiber is the rate-limiting step of the adsorption process. The adsorption equilibrium data are in accordance with the Freundlich isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity is 3.2 mg g−1. Thermodynamic studies revealed that the adsorption process is endothermic and spontaneous in nature. It was suggested that PS electrospun nanofibers have good potential for the separation and purification of clonazepam from a water-soluble matrix as a novel effective adsorbent material.

Electrospinning technology is useful for making ultrafine drug-eluting fibers for the clinical treatment of wounds. We show the incorporation of an antimicrobial LfcinB-derived peptide into Pullulan nanofibers. The palindromic peptide LfcinB (21–25)Pal: RWQWRWQWR was synthesized, purified, and characterized by means of the RP-HPLC and MALDI-TOF MS methods. The peptide''s antibacterial activity against the E. coli ATCC 25922 strain was evaluated, and the peptide LfcinB (20–25)Pal exhibited significant antibacterial activity. Nanofibers were obtained by electrospinning a Pullulan or Pullulan-LfcinB (21–25)Pal solution. The obtained nanofibers were characterized via microscopy (AFM and SEM) and RP-HPLC chromatography. The peptide incorporation efficiency was 31%. The Pullulan-LfcinB (21–25)Pal nanofibers were soluble in water, and the peptide was liberated immediately. The Pullulan-LfcinB (21–25)Pal nanofibers exhibited the same antibacterial activity against E. coli strain as the free peptide LfcinB (21–25)Pal. The results suggest that Pullulan-LfcinB (21–25)Pal nanofibers could be considered for designing and developing antibacterial wound dressings.

Electrospun poly(l)-lactide (PLLA) ultrafine fibers are a biodegradable and biocompatible scaffold, widely used in tissue engineering applications. Unfortunately, these scaffolds have some limitations related to the absence of bioactivity and antibacterial capacity. In this study, dopamine-functionalized reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/PLLA composite nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning. The morphology and the physicochemical and biological properties of the composite nanofibers were investigated. The results indicate that incorporating rGO improves the hydrophilic, mechanical, and biocompatibility properties of PLLA nanofibers. Tetracycline hydrochloride (TC)-loaded rGO/PLLA composite nanofibers showed better controlled drug release profiles compared to GO/PLLA and PLLA nanofibrous scaffolds. Drug-loaded nanofibrous scaffolds showed significantly improved antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). Additionally, rGO/PLLA composite nanofibers exhibited enhanced cytocompatibility. Thus, it can be concluded that rGO/PLLA composite nanofibers allow the development of multifunctional scaffolds for use in biomedical applications.

Herein, a polymeric nanofiber scaffold loaded with Quercetin (Quer)–gold nanorods (GNR) was developed and characterized. Several parameters related to loading Quer into GNR, incorporating the GNR-Quer into polymeric solutions, and fabricating the nanofibers by electrospinning were optimized. GNR-Quer loaded into a polymeric mixture of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) (21%) and poloxamer 407 (23%) has produced intact GNR-Quer-nanofibers with enhanced physical and mechanical properties. GNR-Quer-nanofibers demonstrated a slow pattern of Quer release over time compared to nanofibers free of GNR-Quer. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) revealed enhanced uniformity and homogeneity of the GNR-Quer-nanofibers. GNR-Quer-nanofibers demonstrated a high ability to retain water upon incubation in phosphate buffer saline (PBS) for 24 h compared to nanofibers free of GNR-Quer. A cellular toxicity study indicated that the average cellular viability of human dermal fibroblasts was 76% after 24 h of exposure to the nanofibers containing a low concentration of GNR-Quer.

Incorporating GNR-Quer into a mixture of 21% PLGA LMWT and 23% poloxamer 407 produced smooth, intact and uniform electrospun nanofibers with enhanced mechanical properties and hydration potential.  相似文献

Porous carbon nanofibers are fabricated by one-step carbonization and activation of electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) nanofibres. Electrospun CA nanofibers were obtained by the electrospinning of a CA/DMAC/acetone solution, followed by deacetylation in NaOH/ethanol solution. One-step carbonization and activation was achieved by dipping the as-spun fibers in ZnCl2 solution, followed by one-step high temperature treatment. The effects of the concentration of the dipping solution on the microstructure of the CA-based carbon nanofibers (CACNFs), including the morphology, crystal structure, porous structure, specific surface area and surface chemical properties, have been investigated. The coating of ZnCl2 effectively improves the thermal stability of electrospun CA nanofibers and obviously enhances the oxygen-containing surface groups of the CACNFs. The CACNFs have a norrow pore size distribution (0.6–1.2 nm) and a high specific surface area (∼1188 m2 g−1). Electrochemical performances of the CACNFs were evaluated as supercapacitor electrodes in 6 M KOH solution. The CACNFs demonstrate high specific capacitance (202 F g−1 at 0.1 A g−1) and excellent rate capability (61% of the retention from 0.1 to 20 A g−1). After 5000 cycles of the electrode, the capacitance is maintained at 92%, and the coulombic efficiency is close to 100%, showing high electrochemical stability and reversibility. The renewable features and excellent performance make CACNFs quite a promising alternative to efficient supercapacitor electrodes for energy storage applications.

Diisopropylammonium bromide (DIPAB) doped poly(vinylidene difluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers (5, 10 and 24 wt% DIPAB doping) with improved and tunable dielectric properties were synthesised via electrospinning. DIPAB nanoparticles were grown in situ during the nanofiber formation. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) proved that electrospinning of DIPAB doped PVDF solutions led to the formation of a highly electro-active β-phase in the nanofibers. Electrospinning in the presence of DIPAB inside PVDF led to very well aligned nanofibers with preferred (001) orientation that further enhanced the effective dipole moments in the nanofiber structures. The dielectric properties of the composite nanofibers were significantly enhanced due to the improved orientation, ionic and interfacial polarisation upon the applied electrospinning process, ionic nature of DIPAB and the interface between the PVDF nanofibers and equally dispersed DIPAB nanoparticles inside them, respectively. The relative dielectric constant of the PVDF nanofibers was improved from 8.5 to 102.5 when nanofibers were doped with 5% of DIPAB. Incorporating DIPAB in PVDF nanofibers has been shown to be an effective way to improve the structural and dielectric properties of PVDF.

Surface modification of fibers has attracted significant attention in different areas and applications. In this work, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) cactus-like nanofibers were directly produced via electrospinning at a high relative humidity (RH) of 62%. The formation mechanism of the cactus structure was demonstrated. The effects of the RH on the fabrication of the cactus structure, crystalline phases, mechanical properties, hydrophobicity, and piezoelectric properties of the PVDF nanofibers were investigated. The results showed that the cactus-like nanofibers have a high crystallinity (ΔXc), and an outstanding water contact angle (WCA), as well as good electrical outputs. We believe that the PVDF cactus structure can be used in many applications such as energy harvesting and self-cleaning surfaces.

A novel PVDF cactus-like nanofiber was directly electrospun. The mechanism of formation, properties, and possible applications were demonstrated.  相似文献

In this report a novel antibacterial wound dressing was prepared and then characterized for required testing. We loaded silver sulfadiazine (AgSD) for the first time by electrospinning. AgSD was added in zein (0.3%, 0.4%, 0.5%, and 0.6% by weight) and was electrospun to fabricate nanofiber mats for wound dressings. Nanofiber mats were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to check if there was any chemical reaction between AgSD and zein. Morphological properties were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), which showed uniform nanofibers without any bead formation. The diameter of the nanofibers gradually decreased with an increase in the amount of AgSD, which can be associated with strong physical bonding between zein and AgSD. Thermal properties of nanofiber mats were analyzed by Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) further demonstrated the crystalline structure of the nanofiber mats, and X-ray Photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was performed to confirm Ag and S contents in the prepared wound dressings. In order to investigate antibacterial properties, a disc diffusion method was employed. Bacillus and E. coli bacteria strains were used as Gram-positive and Gram-negative strains respectively. The antibacterial effectiveness of AgSD released from zein nanofibers was determined from the zone inhibition of the bacteria. The antibacterial activity of zein nanofibers loaded with drug was observed with both strains of bacteria in comparison to a control. Excellent antibacterial efficacy was attributed to the sample with 0.6% AgSD. Excellent release properties were also associated with the sample with 0.6% AgSD in zein nanofibers. Keeping in mind the abovementioned characteristics, prepared nanofiber mats would be effective for application in wound dressings.

Abdominal wall hernia repair is one of the most common general surgeries nowadays. Surgical meshes used in hernia repair indeed improved the outcomes, but complications like chronic pain or hernia recurrence partly caused by mechanical mismatch cannot be ignored. This work designed six warp-knitted polypropylene (PP) meshes and found the properties of surgical meshes could be improved to better mimic the performances of human abdominal wall by designing meshes with appropriate textile structures. Poly-caprolactone was electrospun onto newly designed PP meshes and formed a thin layer of patterned nanofiber mat. The pattern of nanofiber mats was affected by the structure of meshes. Diverse nanofiber morphology (straight aligned, straight random or spiral random pattern) and fiber diameters (50–70 nm ultra-thin nanofibers or from 330 nm to 700 nm nanofibers) were observed in different regions of a single patterned nanofiber scaffold. The addition of electrospinning nanofibers enhanced cell adherence and proliferation as compared with naked PP meshes. Cell actin filaments spread along the nanofibers and formed a morphology exactly similar with the patterned mats on day 7. Furthermore, cells on thin and aligned patterned nanofibers showed much more elongation and better orientation than that of the spiral random fibers, suggesting that cell morphology can be altered by changing the patterns of scaffolds. This study helps us in further understanding the properties of hernia repair meshes with their textile structures and the biological interactions of cells with different substrates in order to develop new biomedical scaffolds with desired properties.

Polyacrylonitrile/NaYF4:Eu+3 nanophosphor composite nanofibers have been successfully prepared using the electrospinning technique. The electrospun nanofibers exhibited intense emission of gradient blue (X2 = 0.254, Y2 = 0.152 and X3 = 0.233, Y3 = 0.139) with different concentrations of nanophosphor under the excitation wavelength of 239 nm. The morphological and structural characterization of the nanofibers confirms the uniform dispersion of nanophosphor, while photoluminescence spectroscopy confirms tunability in luminescence properties.

With rapid advancement in water filtration materials, several efforts have been made to fabricate electrospun nanofiber membranes (ENMs). ENMs play a crucial role in different areas of water treatment due to their several advantageous properties such as high specific surface area, high interconnected porosity, controllable thickness, mechanical robustness, and wettability. In the broad field of water purification, ENMs have shown tremendous potential in terms of permeability, rejection, energy efficiency, resistance to fouling, reusability and mechanical robustness as compared to the traditional phase inversion membranes. Upon various chemical and physical modifications of ENMs, they have exhibited great potential for emerging applications in environment, energy and health sectors. This review firstly presents an overview of the limiting factors influencing the morphology of electrospun nanofibers. Secondly, it presents recent advancements in electrospinning processes, which helps to not only overcome drawbacks associated with the conventional electrospinning but also to produce nanofibers of different morphology and orientation with an increased rate of production. Thirdly, it presents a brief discussion about the recent progress of the ENMs for removal of various pollutants from aqueous system through major areas of membrane separation. Finally, this review concludes with the challenges and future directions in this vast and fast growing area.

Electrospinning is an emerging technique for synthesizing micron to submicron-sized polymer fibre supports for applications in energy storage, catalysis, filtration, drug delivery and so on. However, fabrication of electrospun ceramic fibre mats for use as a reinforcement phase in ceramic matrix composites or CMCs for aerospace applications remains largely unexplored. This is mainly due to stringent operating requirements that require a combination of properties such as low mass density, high strength, and ultrahigh temperature resistance. Herein we report fabrication of molecular precursor-derived silicon oxycarbide or SiOC fibre mats via electrospinning and pyrolysis of cyclic polysiloxanes-based precursors at significantly lower weight loadings of organic co-spin agent. Ceramic fibre mats, which were free of wrapping, were prepared by a one-step spinning (in air) and post heat-treatment for crosslinking and pyrolysis (in argon at 800 °C). The pyrolyzed fibre mats were revealed to be amorphous and a few microns in diameter. Four siloxane-based pre-ceramic polymers were used to study the influence of precursor molecular structure on the compositional and morphological differences of cross-linked and pyrolyzed products. Further thermal characterization suggested the potential of electrospun ceramic mats in high temperature applications.

In this study, novel electrospun nanofibers (NFs) composed of organic polyvinylidine fluoride (PVDF) and inorganic Fe–Mn binary oxide (FMBO) nanoparticles were fabricated using an electrospinning technique for adsorptive decontamination of As(v) from polluted water. The NFs were prepared with doped solutions consisting of different weight ratios of PVDF/FMBO, in a NF matrix, ranging from 0 to 0.5. SEM, XRD, FTIR and TEM then characterized the NFs and FMBO particles. The XRD analysis indicated successful impregnation of FMBO nanoparticles in the NF matrix of the NFs investigated. An As(v) adsorption capacity as high as around 21.32 mg g−1 was obtained using the NF containing the highest amount of FMBO nanoparticles (designated as PVDF/FMBO 0.5). Furthermore, the adsorptive performance of the PVDF/FMBO 0.5 nanofiber could be easily regenerated using diluted alkaline solution (NaOH and NaOCl).

Boron carbonitride (BCN) nanofibers with rapid and efficient adsorption performance were prepared by electrospinning technology. TEM, XRD, XPS and N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms were performed to study the microstructure of the nanofibers. The results showed that the BCN fibers synthesized at 1000 °C (BCN-1000) have good crystallinity and high specific surface areas (403 m2 g−1). BCN-1000 nanofibers adsorb 70% of amino black 10B (AB-10B) within 10 minutes and reach adsorption equilibrium within 60 minutes. Compared with previous reports, it is found that the adsorption rate of BCN-1000 nanofibers to amino black (AB-10B) is much higher than that of other adsorbents. And BCN nanofibers exhibit a large adsorption capacity (625 mg g−1). In addition, the process of AB-10B adsorption on BCN nanofibers was systematically investigated, which was in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model and Langmuir isotherm model.

Electrospinning is a versatile and low-cost technique widely used in the manufacture of nanofibrous polymeric membranes applied in different areas, especially in bioengineering. Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a biocompatible natural polymer, but it has rheological characteristics that make the electrospinning process difficult. Thus, its association with another polymer such as poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) is an alternative, as PVA has good rheological properties for electrospinning. Based on this, the aim of this work was to produce, by the conventional electrospinning method, cross-linked HA/PVA membranes free from organic solvent with a low degradation rate in PBS 7.4 solution after the photocrosslinking process and without using any organic solvent. The results showed that the electrospinning occurred effectively for all conditions tested, but the best result for complete cross-linking only occurred with 15 and 30% crosslinker, which was evidenced by infrared spectroscopy. The addition of crosslinker favored the stability of the electrospinning jet, especially for 30% crosslinker concentration. The membranes did not show cytotoxicity even after the cross-linking process, which indicates that the material has potential as a drug delivery device.

Homogeneous nanofibers and non-cytotoxic HA/PVA membranes were produced by conventional electrospinning method followed by photocrosslinking process, without using any organic solvent. The membranes showed great potential for biomedical applications.  相似文献

Electrospun polymer/inorganic biomimetic nanocomposite scaffolds have emerged for use in a new strategy for bone regeneration. In this study, a poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL)/hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocomposite mat with a HAp content as high as 60% was prepared via one-step electrospinning using trifluoroethanol as the solvent, and it has superior dispersibility and spinnability. The structure and physicochemical properties of the scaffolds were studied using scanning electron microscopy and spectroscopic techniques. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of HAp in the composite PCL fibers. The results of cell culturing suggested that the incorporation of HAp with PCL could regulate the cytoskeleton and the differentiation of cells. More interestingly, the high content of HAp was also found to be conducive to the infiltration of MC-3T3 cells into the mat. The results indicated the potential of PCL/HAp scaffolds as a promising substitute for bone regeneration.

PCL nanofibers with 60% HAp content were fabricated, and the presence of HAp regulated cell morphology to enhance cell infiltration.  相似文献
