“…41 Besides nanometals, other materials can be used for the controlled release of antimicrobial metals. Quir os et al 42 prepared composite mats by electrospinning PLA with a suspension of PVP-stabilized Co-SIM-1 (cobalt-based substituted imidazolate). Co-SIM-1 belongs to the family of metal-organic frameworks (MOF), which is a class of hybrid materials in which organic bridging ligands are connected by metal ions to form three dimensional networks.…”

“…A load of 6 wt.% Co-SIM-1/PLA decreased the colonization of mats by P. putida by 40%. 42 Composite antibacterial mats can be prepared by including materials that impart specific surface physical properties to the nanofibers. Tourmaline (a silicate) decorated polyurethane (PU) composite nanofibers prepared as superhydrophilic antibacterial material.…”
Electrospinning is a versatile technique providing highly tunable nanofibrous nonwovens. Many biomedical applications have been developed for nanofibers, among which the production of antimicrobial mats stands out. The production of scaffolds for tissue engineering, fibers for controlled drug release, or active wound dressings are active fields of research exploiting the possibilities offered by electrospun materials. The fabrication of materials for active food packaging or membranes for environmental applications is also reviewed. We attempted to give an overview of the most recent literature related with applications in which nanofibers get in contact with living cells and develop a nano-bio interface.
“…Recently, a novel biocompatible, bioactive and antibacterial MOF was synthesized and it was shown that it was stable in water and in bacterial culture medium leading to its subsequent progressive release [28]. Antibacterial activities of composite electrospun mats containing cobalt-based MOFs were assessed with Pseudomonas putida and Staphylococcus aureus [29] for which up to 60% reduction in the number of colony forming microorganisms were observed.…”
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.
