Electrospun polystyrene fibers containing high temperature stable volatile fragrance/flavor facilitated by cyclodextrin inclusion complexes

Encapsulation of gallic acid/cyclodextrin inclusion complex in electrospun polylactic acid nanofibers: Release behavior and antioxidant activity of gallic acid

“…Polylactic acid (PLA) is a biodegradable aliphatic polyester produced from L-lactic acid and well suited for food packaging and drug delivery applications owing to its biocompatibility, biodegradability; carbon dioxide, oxygen and water permeability, and light barrier properties [19]. Leading studies related to incorporation of CD-IC of various guest molecules into electrospun nanofibers were reported by our research group [18,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28].…”

Molecular filters based on cyclodextrin functionalized electrospun fibers

“…We have also successfully produced electrospun PMMA [22], PEO [23] and polystyrene (PS) nanofibers [24] functionalized with cyclodextrins. Furthermore, we incorporated CD-menthol inclusion complex in electrospun PS and PMMA nanofibers for the purpose to produce functional nanofibers that contain fragrances/flavors with high temperature stability [25,26].…”

Photoluminescent electrospun polymeric nanofibers incorporating germanium nanocrystals

“…Electrospinning is a versatile technique for producing functional nanofibers and nanowebs from a wide variety of materials including polymers, polymer blends, sol-gels, ceramics and composite structures [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. In electrospinning, the incorporation of functional additives such as NPs into polymeric nanofiber matrix is quite attractive and can be used as an effective platform for scientific research for the development of functional nanofibrous composites [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34].…”

Such polymeric nanofibrous composites incorporating NPs have shown distinctive physical, chemical, optical, electrical, magnetic and catalytical properties [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34]. Additionally, these NPs/polymer nanofibrous composite structures would be very promising due to their very light weight, mechanical flexibility, ease of processing, and low cost production.…”
