“…It was demonstrated that CNFs with surface-coated ZnO exhibited higher photocatalytic property than pure ZnO for the degradation of Rhodamine B. In later research, 1D heterostructures of Bi 2 MoO 6 /CNFs and In 2 O 3 /CNFs were fabricated to use in various catalytic activities [77]. Enhanced photocatalytic activity was perceived for those hetero-structures under visible light compared to pure Bi 2 MoO 6 or In 2 O 3 .…”

Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) with diameters in the submicron and nanometer range exhibit high specific surface area, hierarchically porous structure, flexibility, and super strength which allow them to be used in the electrode materials of energy storage devices, and as hybrid-type filler in carbon fiber reinforced plastics and bone tissue scaffold. Unlike catalytic synthesis and other methods, electrospinning of various polymeric precursors followed by stabilization and carbonization has become a straightforward and convenient way to fabricate continuous CNFs. This paper is a comprehensive and brief review on the latest advances made in the development of electrospun CNFs with major focus on the promising applications accomplished by appropriately regulating the microstructural, mechanical, and electrical properties of as-spun CNFs. Additionally, the article describes the various strategies to make a variety of carbon CNFs for energy conversion and storage, catalysis, sensor, adsorption/separation, and biomedical applications. It is envisioned that electrospun CNFs will be the key materials of green science and technology through close collaborations with carbon fibers and carbon nanotubes.

“…Schoenenberger et al (2018) prepared PCL fibre scaffolds with highly aligned or randomly oriented by electrospinning and cultured human tendon fibroblasts (TFs) on them. The results showed that highly aligned PCL scaffolds tended to downregulate the expression of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) because of their high catabolic activity; Czarnecki et al (2012) similarly investigated the feasibility of PCL-modified composite fibre-carbon scaffolds and analyzed their mechanical properties and ability to support the growth and proliferation of human dermal fibroblasts. The results showed that PCL-modified composite fibrous scaffold had similar mechanical properties to the acellular dermal matrix to support fibroblast adhesion and proliferation.…”

Achilles tendon injury has become a common sports injury clinically, and its treatment and rehabilitation are essential, while the regenerative capacity of the Achilles tendon in adult mammals is limited. Therefore, it is necessary to promote the repair and remodelling of the Achilles tendon through efficient interventions. Biodegradable polymer materials are one of the most popular in the treatment and repair of soft tissues, ligaments, muscles, and organs injured by organisms to enhance the function of their wounded sites. Thus, it plays a specific role in “compensation” and is widely used in clinical medicine and rehabilitation. This review summarized the progress of poly (ε-caprolactone), polylactic acid, poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid), poly (trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC), and polydioxanone (PDS) in repairing Achilles tendon injury, indicating that the biodegradable polymers have succeeded in improving and treating Achilles tendon injuries. However, some problems such as lack of good affinity with cells and uncontrollable degradation of the biodegradable polymers should be overcome in repairing Achilles tendon injury. Therefore, the development of modified biodegradable polymers to make them an ideal repair material that meets the requirements is vital in improving Achilles tendon injuries. With the continuous development and close cooperation of life sciences and material sciences, excellent materials for repairing Achilles tendon injuries will undoubtedly be produced. The treatment of Achilles tendon injuries will be more straightforward, which will be a boon for many athletes.
