“…Plasma treatment is a particular type of hydrophilic surface functionalization. It is usually categorized in the literature as a physical hydrophilic functionalization method [ 63 , 64 ]. However, plasma treatment results in significant chemical changes on the polymers surface such as chemical bonds breaking, leading to the introduction of various chemical groups like –OH, –COOH, CHO–, NH2–, –COO–, and reactive radicals, such as –COO ( Figure 2 ) [ 65 ].…”

Hydrophilic Surface Functionalization of Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffolds in Tissue Engineering

Electrospun polymer nanofibers have received much attention in tissue engineering due to their valuable properties such as biocompatibility, biodegradation ability, appropriate mechanical properties, and, most importantly, fibrous structure, which resembles the morphology of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. However, they are usually hydrophobic and suffer from a lack of bioactive molecules, which provide good cell adhesion to the scaffold surface. Post-electrospinning surface functionalization allows overcoming these limitations through polar groups covalent incorporation to the fibers surface, with subsequent functionalization with biologically active molecules or direct deposition of the biomolecule solution. Hydrophilic surface functionalization methods are classified into chemical approaches, including wet chemical functionalization and covalent grafting, a physiochemical approach with the use of a plasma treatment, and a physical approach that might be divided into physical adsorption and layer-by-layer assembly. This review discusses the state-of-the-art of hydrophilic surface functionalization strategies of electrospun nanofibers for tissue engineering applications. We highlighted the major advantages and drawbacks of each method, at the same time, pointing out future perspectives and solutions in the hydrophilic functionalization strategies.

“…For this treatment laccases are the most common enzymes, although peroxidases has been used (Echavarri-Bravo et al 2019). Other technologies, such as plasma, which introduce free radicals to fibers surfaces can also be used to promote interfiber covalent bonding and potentially reduce synthetic binder use (Fuqua et al 2012;Singh et al 2020).…”

The nonwoven industry is one of the most innovative and important branches of the global fiber products industry. However, the use of petrochemicalbased materials in many nonwoven products leads to severe environmental issues such as generation of microplastics. Synthetic material use in nonwovens is currently around 66%. This review covers potential technologies for the use of bio-based materials in nonwoven products. The current generation of nonwoven products relies heavily on the use of synthetic binders and fibers. These materials allow for products with high functional properties, such as permanence, strength, bulk, and haptic properties. The next generation of nonwoven products will have a higher fraction of natural and renewable materials as both binders and fiber elements. There are a wide range of materials under investigation in various nonwoven product categories. Especially, lignocellulosic materials are of interest. This includes traditional pulp fibers, regenerated cellulose fibers, lignin binders and nanomaterials derived from wood. The development of water stable, strong interfiber bonding concepts is one of the main problems to be solved for advancing biobased nonwoven products.

“…The usage of nanofibers and nanocomposite based coatings/finishings have demonstrated a huge possibility in emerging functional and high-performance textiles (Bashari et al, 2018, [ 48 ]), (Riaz et al, 2018, [ 49 ]), (Haque et al, 2019, [ 50 ]), (Lund et al, 2018, [ 51 ]), (Silva et al, 2019, [ 52 ]), (Shabbir et al, 2020, [ 53 ]), (Ul-Islam et al, 2018, [ 54 ]). The study by (Singh et al, 2020 [ 55 ]) reviewed the latest studies involving the modification and characterization of textile, highlighting plasma and nano-pretreatment. Figure 1 diagrammatically presents various nanotechnology-enhanced textiles.…”

At present, nanotechnology is a priority in research in several nations due to its massive capability and financial impact. However, due to the uncertainties and abnormalities in shape, size, and chemical compositions, the existence of certain nanomaterials may lead to dangerous effects on the human health and environment. The present review includes the different advanced applications of nanomaterials in textiles industries, as well as their associated environmental and health risks. The four main textile industry fields using nanomaterials, nanofinishing, nanocoatings, nanofibers, and nanocomposites, are analyzed. Different functional textiles with nanomaterials are also briefly reviewed. Most textile materials are in direct and prolonged contact with our skin. Hence, the influence of carcinogenic and toxic substances that are available in textiles must be comprehensively examined. Proper recognition of the conceivable benefits and accidental hazards of nanomaterials to our surroundings is significant for pursuing its development in the forthcoming years. The conclusions of the current paper are anticipated to increase awareness on the possible influence of nanomaterial-containing textile wastes and the significance of better regulations in regards to the ultimate disposal of these wastes.
