Hybrid ZnO/TiO2nanoparticles were applied as potential photocatalyst agents incorporated into electrospun fibers of enteric block copolymers. The resistance of fibers avoids aggregation and contributes to prolonged action of semiconductor nanoparticles under continuous light irradiation. Such behavior is attributed to the minimal aggregation degree and elevated efficiency of photodegradation of modified nanoparticles in comparison with pristine ones. Hybrid ZnO/TiO2in nanofibers contributes to the association of different mechanisms such as N-deethylation and cleavage of dye molecules applied in the overall process of photodegradation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
