“…It was also observed that the mechanical properties of the composite nanofibers were decreased as increased the amount of MWNT, which are due to the poor dispersion of the P-MWNTs in the PCL matrix or agglomeration of MWNTs at high concentration. 43 The bead formation might be another possibility for the low mechanical properties of the P-MWNT/PCL nanofibers. The low mechanical properties for beaded nanofibers were also reported by Inai et al …”

Polycaprolacton (PCL) and multiwalled carbon nanotubes/PCL (P-MWNT/PCL) were prepared by electrospinning technique. The average diameter of the nanofibers was below 400 nm. The mechanical properties of the P-MWNT/PCL nanofibers were higher than that of neat PCL nanofibers. It was also found that the mechanical properties of the composite nanofibers were decreased as increased the amount of P-MWNTs, which were due to the poor dispersion of the P-MWNTs in the PCL matrix or agglomeration of MWNTs at high concentration. The thermal stability of the P-MWNT/PCL nanofibers was higher than PCL nanofibers. The conductivity of the adsorbed P-MWNT on PCL (φ) nanofibers was 1.27 × 10 -4 S/cm.

“…Most of the carbon nanotubes exhibit good cytotoxicity towards pathogenic organisms, with single-walled carbon nanotubes reported to be the most efficient. Well-aligned single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) along the fibre axis of the bombyx mori silk nanofibre were produced by Ayutsede et al [246]. A very low concentration of SWNT (1 wt%) was enough to increase the crystallinity and mechanical properties.…”

Abstract. Over the past decades, electrospinning of biopolymers down to nanoscale garnered much interest to address most of the millennia issues related to water treatment. The fabrication of these nanostructured membranes added a new dimension to the current nanotechnologies where a wide range of materials can be processed to their nanosize. Electrospinning is a simple and versatile technique to fabricate unique nanostructured membranes with fascinating properties for a wide spectrum of applications such as filtration and others. These nanostructured membranes, fabricated by electrospinning, were found to be of a paramount importance because of their advanced inherited properties such as large surface-to-volume ratio, as well as tuneable porosity, stability, and high permeability. The extensive research conducted on these materials extended the success of electrospinning not only to bio-based polymer nanofibres, but to their hybrids and their derivatives. The technique also created avenues for advanced and massive production of nanofibres. This paper reviews the recent developments in the electrospinning technique. Electrospinning of biopolymers, their blends and functionalization using metals/metal oxides, and the potential applications of electrospun nanofibrous membranes in water filtration are discussed.

“…The brunauer-emmett-tellersurface area of resultant materials is increased for potential applications, such as adsorption of drugs, filtration, and sensor fabrication (54). Currently, the nano-nets can be fabricated from various materials, for instance, PA-6 (54), polyacrylic acid (55), poly(vinyl alcohol) (51), polyurethane (PU) (56), poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (57), gelatin (58) chitosan (59) and silk (60).…”

Phase separation is one of the most important technologies to fabricate ultrafine fibers. Different from electrospinning, phase separation can produce fibers arranged in three dimension and thus has unique advantages, such as mimicking the fibrous structure in extracellular matrix more closely. However, to precisely control the architectures of phase separated scaffolds is challenging. This chapter introduces the current understanding about the mechanisms of phase separation and summarizes the factors, which can control the morphologies of resultant scaffolds. Methods to produce fibrous phase separated scaffolds are discussed in this chapter. Applications and limitations are also analyzed.
