Electrospun Nanofibrous Materials for Oil/Water Separation

Antimicrobial Properties of Nanofiber Membrane and Commercial Micromembrane by Modification with Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Attachment of Silver Nanoparticles

“…shown that the high surface hydrophilicity decreases the intensity of biofouling, improves water filtration parameters, and reduces waste water filtration energy costs [44][45][46]. The measurement of the contact angle helped to evaluate the changes in the wetting properties of the membranes.…”

Electrospun Polycaprolactone/Polyvinylidene Fluoride Composite Nanofibers for Fabricating Artificial Conduits for Ureteral Stricture Treatment

“…Electrospinning is a technique that uses an electric field to produce fibers from a polymer solution . Various polymers can be selected according to need, such as natural materials, including silk, or piezoelectric polymers, and water-soluble polymers. − Since it is easy to add drugs or particles to the solution, CNT is added to perform electrospinning, or to manufacture drug-releasing membranes. − Because of its wide versatility, it is widely studied from everyday use, such as food packaging, to industrial use, such as oil–water separation membrane production and carbon nanofiber production. − Among these applications, research is being actively conducted in the medical field. As mentioned, it is easy to add drugs, and it is possible to manufacture a biocompatible polymer as a fibrous scaffold, so the fields of application are very diverse, from manufacturing membranes for in vitro experiments to manufacturing artificial blood conduits. − Biodegradable polymers or natural materials, such as silk, are electrospun in a yarn-like form to manufacture surgical sutures that do not require removal after surgery. , Kim et al conducted research on artificial corneas and artificial eardrums by manufacturing electrospun fibers in an aligned or radial pattern .…”
