“…Nanofibers are processed from methods like melt blowing, solution spinning, melt spinning, electrospinning, or blow spinning which is a combination of melt blowing and electrospinning techniques. [ 112 ] Similar to surface modification of natural fibers, nanofibers are also subjected to various modification treatments. These modifications upgrade the thermomechanical and physico‐chemical properties of nanofibers.…”

Environmental and sustainability issues coupled with increased awareness have urged researchers to focus on natural sources that can substitute several forbidden materials. Fiber‐reinforced hybrid polymeric composites have succeeded in attracting global attention toward its suitability to replace conventional materials. Hybrid fibers have recently become immensely popular with polymer composite reinforcements for various automotive parts. Hybrid composites are developed by blending natural, synthetic, or a combination of natural or synthetic fibers in a single matrix. Hybridization allows enhancements in physical, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composites. Hybrid composites assist in achieving an optimum combination of properties than individual fiber composites. In this paper, a comprehensive review of the properties of composite reinforcement natural fibers for the application of automobile components is presented. Recent articles on emerging fiber types are reviewed and fabrication techniques required for hybrid polymer composites are discussed. A prospective study is also presented and discussed of future trends in natural fiber applications as well as needed innovations for extending their applications.

“…Electrospinning is a favorable and powerful technique to fabricate uniform sub-micron fibers in a continuous process and on a large scale from many different polymers. Electrospun fibers, from submicron down to nanometer, with a high surface area are produced from polymer melt or solution by electrostatic forces [1,2]. Various synthetic and natural polymers, composites, and ceramics have been transformed into fibers to benefit their surface area characteristics for several applications, such as filtration, catalysis, energy, sensor, food packaging, and healthcare.…”

We report the fabrication of bio-based thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) fibrous scaffolds containing essential oils (EO). The main goal of this study was to investigate the effects of essential oil type (St. John’s Wort oil (SJWO), lavender oil (LO), and virgin olive oil (OO))/concentration on the electrospinnability of TPU. The effects of applied voltage, flow rate, and end-tip distance on the diameter, morphology, and wettability of the TPU/EO electrospun fibers were investigated. The electrospun TPU/EO scaffolds were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), contact angle (CA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The addition of oil resulted in an increase in the fiber diameter, reduction in the surface roughness, and, accordingly, a reduction in the contact angle of the composite fibers. TPU fibers containing SJWO and LO have a more flexible structure compared to the fibers containing OO. This comparative study fills the existing information gap and shows the benefits of the fabrication of essential-oil-incorporated electrospun fiber with morphology and size range with respect to the desired applications, which are mostly wound dressing and food packaging.

“…Coaxial electrospinning has emerged as a straightforward alternative to conventional electrospinning for producing well-dispersed nanoreinforced polymers by injecting the components in a core-shell fashion. [20][21][22][23] Moreover, this technique has been useful in the production of NP/polymer mats with improved properties such as thermal stability, photodegradation performance and superparamagnetic properties. [2,24,25] In this work, we employed coaxial electrospinning as a one-step alternative to fabricate nanoreinforced polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) featuring the dispersion of iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) NP with different size distributions (monomodal or bimodal) within the polymeric fibers.…”

Coaxial electrospinning process toward optimal nanoparticle dispersion in polymeric matrix

et al. 2021

Nanoreinforced polymers have gained popularity in the last decades since they exhibit enhanced properties (compared to pristine polymers) that are useful in a wide range of applications. Unfortunately, dispersion of nanoparticles (NPs) into polymeric matrices is a major problem since they tend to form agglomerates, limiting the improvement of properties and further applications. In this work, we propose the use of coaxial electrospinning as one-step method to disperse NPs in a polymeric matrix. Particularly, iron oxide (Fe 3 O 4) NP with a monomodal and bimodal size distributions were dispersed in polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a material that is well known for its improved piezoelectric properties when it is processed via electrospinning. The results indicate that the incorporation of NP modified the polymeric fiber depending on their surface-to-volume ratio (smaller NP promoted smaller fiber size). Moreover, transmission electron microscopy revealed a good NP dispersion in the polymer, especially for the smallest NP size (monomodal). Finally, each NP size distributions were well preserved in the electrospun mats compared to the initial NP solutions, demonstrating the suitability of this technique for the fabrication of nanoreinforced PVDF structures with tailored NP size. Overall, this method could represent a facile and practical alternative to fabricate materials with piezoelectric/super-paramagnetic properties.
