“…Blendelectrospinning method is used in the study to improve the electrospinnability and mechanical properties of SEP. Yi et al [21] has prepared the poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO)/SEP nanofibers by electrospinning successfully, while the nanofibers need to be treated by cross-linking agent due to the quick and complete dissolution in the water. The similar phenomenon was observed in another study, and the fibers were treated by catechin to improve the water insolubility [22]. While in these studies, the toxicity of crosslinking agents still remains a concern.…”

Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is a widely used method in periodontal therapy, which involves the placement of a barrier membrane to exclude migration of epithelium and ensure repopulation of periodontal ligament cells. The objective of this study is to prepare and evaluate a new type of soluble eggshell membrane protein (SEP)/poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanofibers using electrospinning method for GTR membrane application. SEP/PLGA nanofibers were successfully prepared with various blending ratios. The morphology, chemical composition, surface wettability, and mechanical properties of the nanofibers were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurement, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and a universal testing machine. L-929 fibroblast cells were used to evaluate the biocompatibility of SEP/PLGA nanofibers and investigate the interaction between cells and nanofibers. Results showed that the SEP/PLGA electrospun membrane was composed of uniform, bead-free nanofibers, which formed an interconnected porous network structure. Mechanical property of SEP has been greatly improved by the addition of PLGA. The biological study results showed that SEP/PLGA nanofibers could enhance cell attachment, spreading, and proliferation. The study indicated the potential of SEP/PLGA nanofibers for GTR application and provided a basis for future optimization.

“…Polyethylene oxide (PEO) is one kind of water-soluble polymer which had been utilized as a carrier polymer and has been shown to have a number of advantages for electrospinning, these include low toxicity allowing for its potential use as a food additive, and of course inherent electrospinning ability in its own right. PEO has been used as a carrier polymer in a biopolymer solution with silk 26 , soy protein 27 , eggshell protein 28 and whey protein isolate 29 .…”

In this study, electrospinning has been employed to produce micro to nano scale fibres of whey protein in order to investigate their potential for use in the food industry. Initially, spinning of pure whey protein proved challenging; so in order to facilitate the spinning of freshly prepared aqueous solutions, small amounts of polyethylene oxide (as low as 1% w/w in solution) were incorporated in the spinning solutions. The electrospun composite polyethylene-oxide/whey fibres exhibited diameters in the region of 100 to 400 nm, showing the potential to build fibre bundles from this size up. Time-dependent examinations of pure whey protein aqueous solutions were conducted using rheometery and small angle neutron scattering techniques, with the results showing a substantial change in the solution properties with time and stirring; and allowing the production of fibres, albeit with large diameters, without the need for an additive. The spinability is related to the potential of the whey protein composites to form aggregate structures, either through hydration and interaction with neighbouring proteins, or through interaction with the polyethylene oxide.

“…However, the further application of ESM is limited by its insolubility, therefore, rather than employing natural ESM, water-soluble ESM (S-ESM) from natural hen ESM has been considered to produce the regenerated ESM nanofibers. Recently, several studies reported that S-ESM fibers can be successfully fabricated by blending supporting polymers PEO and PVA [10,11], because S-ESM itself can not be electrospun due to the low molecular weight resulting in insufficient viscosity for spinning. Further improvement in this type of processing is necessary for electrospinning of S-ESM/PVA blends in aqueous media.…”

Electrospinning of poly-(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) with soluble eggshell membrane (S-ESM) in aqueous media was carried out under 20%-70% relative humidity (RH). The S-ESM/PVA spinning dope was 11.66 wt% solutes concentration with weight ratio of S-ESM : PVA = 40:60. Fiber morphology and fiber diameter were determined using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-ESM). A RH of 40% was found to be optimal for obtaining a sufficient fiber collection of S-ESM/PVA fibers. S-ESM particles were appeared on the surface of the fibers at 20%-30% RH. It was also found that the diameter of S-ESM/PVA blend fiber decreased with increasing the RH.
