Novel mineralized electrospun chitosan/PVA/TiO₂ nanofibrous composites for potential biomedical applications: computational and experimental insights

Abstract

Electrospun nanofibrous materials serve as potential solutions for several biomedical applications as they possess the ability of mimicking the extracellular matrix (ECM) of tissues.

Retracted: Advances in chitosan biopolymer composite materials: from bioengineering, wastewater treatment to agricultural applications

“…Hence the mixed composites can be appropriate for the medical and food industries. Pt and quantum dots exhibit optical and luminescent properties with chitosan, introducing photothermal effects to tumors while simultaneously imaging cells [21].…”

In Situ Growth of Silver Nanoparticles on Chitosan Matrix for the Synthesis of Hybrid Electrospun Fibers: Analysis of Microstructural and Mechanical Properties

“…The high values of the instrumental elastic modulus (EIT = 25 GPa) and instrumental hardness (HIT = 152 GPa), confirm a significant increase in the hardness of the fibers after Ag NPS addition. The results pointed out that the use of Ag NPS increased not only the dispersion but the morphology and mechanical properties in comparison with other works [56] or ceramic nanoparticles, particularly with ZnO and TiO 2 NPs [49,77].…”

Enhancement in hydrolytic stability and proton conductivity of optimised chitosan/sulfonated poly(vinyl alcohol) composite membrane with inorganic fillers

“…Accordingly, the inorganic filler‐modified samples exhibit a high E ′ at 30°C (Table 6). This condition may be attributed to the distribution of inorganic filler particles that enhanced the resistance to the deformation of CS/SPVA15 polymer chains 66 . E ′ decreases with the increase in temperature due to the high gain in kinetic energy that results in great mobility of polymer chains.…”
