Behrouzinia S, Ahmadi H, Abbasi N, Javadi AA. Experimental investigation on a combination of soil electrokinetic consolidation and remediation of drained water using composite nanofiber-based electrodes. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2022; 836:155562. [PMID: 35504389 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2022.155562] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2022] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 04/23/2022] [Indexed: 06/14/2023]
Abstract
A novel electrokinetic geosynthetic (EKG) can be efficient in achieving multiple objectives. In this study, a new EKG as an electrode and a drainage channel in the electro-osmotic consolidation was fabricated by electrospun nanofibers containing graphene nanoparticles (GNs) attached to a carbon fiber substrate. To investigate the effectiveness of the fabricated electrodes in electro-osmotic consolidation and remediation of water drained from the system, an experimental apparatus was constructed while considering loading capability in expanded ranges and applying the electric field, and was filled with copper (Cu)-contaminated kaolinite. Experiments were divided into control (CT) and EKG groups, and three categories, C-EK, ES1-EK, and ES2-EK (using carbon fiber, electrospun nanofibers containing 1 wt% GNs, and electrospun nanofibers consisting of 2 wt% GNs, respectively). All the experiments were conducted with the same conditions, loading, drainage condition, and duration. However, EKG experiments were performed by employing the electric field under the vertical pressure in the range of 7-113 kPa, while the CT was conducted without the electric field. According to experimental results, 18 wt% polymethyl methacrylate in the dimethylformamide solvent containing 1 and 2 wt% GNs was selected for making a nanofibrous layer on the carbon fiber. The average diameters of the fibers were 404 ± 36 and 690 ± 62 nm and yielded at 1 and 2 wt% GNs, respectively. The results revealed that using the EKG accelerated kaolinite consolidation. The average degree of consolidation was 68 and 85% in the CT and EKG experiments, respectively. Furthermore, the fabricated electrodes were highly effective as a drainage channel for remediating water drained from the system. Moreover, the highest Cu removal efficiency was obtained in ES2-EK (97%) and ES1-EK (92%), respectively. Conversely, the lowest Cu removal efficiency was observed in the C-EK group (85%).

[PMID: 35056831 PMCID: PMC8778194 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27020520] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/20/2021] [Revised: 01/11/2022] [Accepted: 01/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
Accurately and sensitively sensing and monitoring the pH in the environment is a key fundamental issue for human health. Nanomaterial and nanotechnology combined with fluorescent materials can be emerged as excellent possible methods to develop high-performance sensing membranes and help monitor pH. Herein, a series of fluorescent nanofiber membranes (NFMs) containing poly-1,8-naphthimide derivative-3-[dimethyl-[2-(2-methylprop-2-enoyloxy)ethyl]azaniumyl]propane-1-sulfonate (PNI-SBMA) are fabricated by electrospinning the solution of PNI-SBMA blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). The surfactant-like functionalities in side chains of PNI-SBMA endow the NFMs with outstanding hydrophilicity, and the naphthimide derivatives are sensitive to pH by photoinduced electron transfer effect, which contribute to highly efficient pH fluorescence sensing applications of NFMs. Specifically, the PNI-SBMA/PVA NFM with a ratio of 1:9 (NFM2) shows high sensitivity and good cyclability to pH. This work demonstrates an effective strategy to realize a fluorescent sensor NFM that has a fast and sensitive response to pH, which will benefit its application of pH sensor monitoring in the water treatment process.

Abstract
In recent years, the incidence of cancer is increasing every day due to poor quality of life (industrialization of life). Therefore, the treatment of cancer has received much attention from therapists. So far, many anticancer drugs have been used to treat cancer patents. However, the direct use of the anticancer drugs has the adverse side effects for patents and several limitations to treat process. Natural chitosan nanofibers prepared by electrospinning method have unique properties such as high surface area, high porosity, suitable mechanical properties, nontoxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, biorenewable, low immunogenicity, better clinical functionality, analogue to extracellular model, and easy production in large scale. Therefore, this bio-polymer is a very suitable case to deliver of the anti-cancer drugs to treat cancer patents. In this review summarizes the electrospinning synthesis of chitosan and its therapeutic application for the various cancer treatment.

Kupka V, Dvořáková E, Manakhov A, Michlíček M, Petruš J, Vojtová L, Zajíčková L. Well-Blended PCL/PEO Electrospun Nanofibers with Functional Properties Enhanced by Plasma Processing. Polymers (Basel) 2020; 12:polym12061403. [PMID: 32580496 PMCID: PMC7362260 DOI: 10.3390/polym12061403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2020] [Revised: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 06/17/2020] [Indexed: 12/31/2022] Open
Abstract
Biodegradable composite nanofibers were electrospun from poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) mixtures dissolved in acetic and formic acids. The variation of PCL:PEO concentration in the polymer blend, from 5:95 to 75:25, revealed the tunability of the hydrolytic stability and mechanical properties of the nanofibrous mats. The degradation rate of PCL/PEO nanofibers can be increased compared to pure PCL, and the mechanical properties can be improved compared to pure PEO. Although PCL and PEO have been previously reported as immiscible, the electrospinning into nanofibers having restricted dimensions (250–450 nm) led to a microscopically mixed PCL/PEO blend. However, the hydrolytic stability and tensile tests revealed the segregation of PCL into few-nanometers-thin fibrils in the PEO matrix of each nanofiber. A synergy phenomenon of increased stiffness appeared for the high concentration of PCL in PCL/PEO nanofibrous mats. The pure PCL and PEO mats had a Young’s modulus of about 12 MPa, but the mats made of high concentration PCL in PCL/PEO solution exhibited 2.5-fold higher values. The increase in the PEO content led to faster degradation of mats in water and up to a 20-fold decrease in the nanofibers’ ductility. The surface of the PCL/PEO nanofibers was functionalized by an amine plasma polymer thin film that is known to increase the hydrophilicity and attach proteins efficiently to the surface. The combination of different PCL/PEO blends and amine plasma polymer coating enabled us to tune the surface functionality, the hydrolytic stability, and the mechanical properties of biodegradable nanofibrous mats.

Abstract
Anion-conducting ionomer-based nanofibers mats are prepared by electrospinning (ES) technique. Depending on the relative humidity (RH) during the ES process (RHES), ionomer nanofibers with different morphologies are obtained. The effect of relative humidity on the ionomer nanofibers morphology, ionic conductivity, and water uptake (WU) is studied. A branching effect in the ES fibers found to occur mostly at RHES < 30% is discussed. The anion conductivity and WU of the ionomer electrospun mats prepared at the lowest RHES are found to be higher than in those prepared at higher RHES. This effect can be ascribed to the large diameter of the ionomer fibers, which have a higher WU. Understanding the effect of RH during the ES process on ionomer-based fibers' properties is critical for the preparation of electrospun fiber mats for specific applications, such as electrochemical devices.

Abstract
Lighting and display technologies are evolving at tremendous rates nowadays; new device architectures based on new, microscopic building blocks are being developed. Besides high light-emission efficiencies, qualities including low cost, low environmental impact, flexibility, or lightweightness are sought for developing new types of devices. Electrospun polymer fibers represent an interesting type of such microscopic structures that can be employed in developing new functionalities. White-light-emitting fiber mats were prepared by the electrospinning of different dye-doped polymer solutions. Two approaches were used in order to obtain white-light emissions: the overlapping of single-dye-doped electrospun fiber mats, and the electrospinning of mixtures of different ratios of single-dye-doped polymer solutions. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to investigate the morphologies of the electrospun fibers with diameters ranging between 300 nm and 1 µm. Optical absorption and photoluminescence (PL) were evaluated for single-dye-doped submicronic fiber mats, for overlapping mats, and for fiber mats obtained from different compositions of mixtures. Depending on the ratios of the mixtures of different dyes, the luminance was balanced between blue and red emissions. Commission Internationale de L'Eclairage (CIE) measurements depict this fine-tuning of the colors' intensities, and the right composition for white-light emission of the submicronic fiber mats was found.

Abstract
Reactive electrospinning is capable of efficiently producing in situ crosslinked scaffolds resembling the natural extracellular matrix with tunable characteristics. In this study, we aimed to synthesize, characterize, and investigate the in vitro cytocompatibility of electrospun fibers of acrylated poly(1,10-decanediol-co-tricarballylate) copolymer prepared utilizing the photoreactive electrospinning process with ultraviolet radiation for crosslinking, to be used for cardiac tissue engineering applications. Chemical, thermal, and morphological characterization confirmed the successful synthesis of the polymer used for production of the electrospun fibrous scaffolds with more than 70% porosity. Mechanical testing confirmed the elastomeric nature of the fibers required to withstand cardiac contraction and relaxation. The cell viability assay showed no significant cytotoxicity of the fibers on cultured cardiomyoblasts and the cell-scaffolds interaction study showed a significant increase in cell attachment and growth on the electrospun fibers compared to the reference. This data suggests that the newly synthesized fibrous scaffold constitutes a promising candidate for cardiac tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to determine the effect of nisin, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA) and a combination of nisin and DHBA incorporated into nanofibers prepared from poly(D,L-lactide) (PDLLA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) on biofilm formation of a methicillin-resistant strain of Staphylococcus aureus (strain Xen 31). Biofilm formation decreased by 88% after 24 h of exposure to nanofibers containing nisin and DHBA (NDF), compared to a 63% decrease when exposed to nanofibers containing only DHBA (DF) and a 3% decrease when exposed to nanofibers containing only nisin (NF). Planktonic cell numbers of biofilms exposed to nanofibers without nisin or DHBA (CF) and NF increased from no detectable OD(595nm) readings to 0.35 and 0.3, respectively, within the first 8 h of exposure, followed by a steady decline over the following 16 h. Planktonic cells of biofilms treated with DF increased from no detectable OD(595nm) readings to 0.05 after 8 h of exposure and remained more-or-less constant for the duration of the experiment. Planktonic cells of biofilms exposed to NDF increased from OD(595nm) 0.03 after 8 h of exposure and to 0.2 over the following 16 h. Biofilm formation increased with increasing concentrations of FeCl3·6H2O, which suggests that iron is required for S. aureus Xen 31 to form a biofilm. However, when exposed to NDF, biofilm formation decreased significantly in the presence of increasing concentrations of iron. This suggests that NDF may be used to prevent biofilm formation of MRSA and control infection.

Abstract
Electrospinning has emerged as an effective method of producing nanoscale fibers for use in multiple fields of study. One area of significant interest is nanofiber utilization for tissue engineering because the nanofibrous mats can mimic the native extracellular matrix of biological tissues. A logical next step is the inclusion of certain molecules and compounds to accelerate or increase the efficacy of tissue regeneration. Two methods are under scrutiny for their capability to encapsulate therapeutic compounds within electrospun nanofibers: emulsion and coaxial electrospinning. Both have advantages and disadvantages, which need to be taken into careful consideration when deciding to use them in a specific application. Several examples are provided here to highlight the vast potential of multilayered nanofibers as well as the emergence of new techniques to produce three-dimensional scaffolds of nanofibers for use in the field of tissue engineering.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we developed a biocompatible and biodegradable vancomycin (VM)-eluting electrospun poly(ɛ-caprolactone) (PCL)/polyethylene oxide (PEO)/VM/PCL nanofiber mat. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of this nanofiber mat for preventing methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) biofilm on the ossicular prostheses and otitis media. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fabrication of VM eluting nanofiber mat was carried out using PCL and PEO. The release of VM was assessed by spectrophotometry in vitro. The antibacterial effect was evaluated by inhibition zone test and biofilm formation test in vitro. And prevention of MRSA infection by guinea pig was assessed by otoendoscopy, temporal bone CT and histopathologic examination in vivo. RESULTS VM released followed a triphasic pattern. VM eluting nanofiber mat prevented MRSA biofilm formation on the surface of ossicular prostheses regardless of materials in vitro, and MRSA otitis media in vivo. Otoendoscopy, temporal bone CT, and histopathologic findings revealed well ventilated middle ear. CONCLUSION From these results, VM eluting nanofiber mat may be a promising method for prevention of MRSA periprosthetic infection and biofilm formation.

2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid-containing nanofiber wound dressings inhibit biofilm formation by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Antimicrob Agents Chemother 2014; 58:2098-104.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa forms biofilms in wounds, which often leads to chronic infections that are difficult to treat with antibiotics. Free iron enhances biofilm formation, delays wound healing, and may even be responsible for persistent inflammation, increased connective tissue destruction, and lipid peroxidation. Exposure of P. aeruginosa Xen 5 to the iron chelator 2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), electrospun into a nanofiber blend of poly(d,l-lactide) (PDLLA) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), referred to as DF, for 8 h decreased biofilm formation by approximately 75%. This was shown by a drastic decline in cell numbers, from 7.1 log10 CFU/ml to 4.8 log10 CFU/ml when biofilms were exposed to DF in the presence of 2.0 mM FeCl3 6H2O. A similar decline in cell numbers was recorded in the presence of 3.0 mM FeCl3 6H2O and DF. The cells were more mobile in the presence of DHBA, supporting the observation of less biofilm formation at lower iron concentrations. DHBA at MIC levels (1.5 mg/ml) inhibited the growth of strain Xen 5 for at least 24 h. Our findings indicate that DHBA electrospun into nanofibers inhibits cell growth for at least 4 h, which is equivalent to the time required for all DHBA to diffuse from DF. This is the first indication that DF can be developed into a wound dressing to treat topical infections caused by P. aeruginosa.

Abstract
There is a growing demand for off-the-shelf tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) for the replacement or bypass of damaged arteries in various cardiovascular diseases. Scaffolds from the decellularized tissue skeletons to biopolymers and biodegradable synthetic polymers have been used for fabricating TEVGs. However, several issues have not yet been resolved, which include the inability to mimic the mechanical properties of native tissues, and the ability for long-term patency and growth required for in vivo function. Electrospinning is a popular technique for the production of scaffolds that has the potential to address these issues. However, its application to human TEVGs has not yet been achieved. This review provides an overview of tubular scaffolds that have been prepared by electrospinning with potential for TEVG applications.

Electrospun nanofiber based colorimetric probe for rapid detection of Fe2+ in water. Anal Chim Acta 2013; 804:228-34.

Abstract
An imidazole derivative, 2-(2'-pyridyl)imidazole (PIMH), was developed as a colorimetric probe for the qualitative analysis of Fe(2+) in aqueous solution. PIMH was then used to post-functionalize poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC) nanofibers after electrospinning so as to afford a solid state colorimetric probe. Upon treatment with Fe(2+) the probe displayed a distinctive color change both in liquid and solid platforms. The linear dynamic range for the colorimetric determination of Fe(2+) was 0.0988-3.5 μg mL(-1). The ligand showed a high chromogenic selectivity for Fe(2+) over other cations with a detection limit of 0.102 μg mL(-1) in solution (lower than the WHO drinking water guideline limit of 2 mg L(-1)), and 2 μg mL(-1) in the solid state. The concentration of Fe(2+) in a certified reference material (Iron, Ferrous, 1072) was found to be 2.39±0.01 mg L(-1), which was comparable with the certified value of 2.44±0.12 mg L(-1). Application of the probe to real samples spiked with Fe(2+) achieved recoveries of over 97% confirming accuracy of the method and its potential for on-site monitoring.

Abstract
Since 2006, a rapid development has been achieved in a subject area, so called electro-spinning/netting (ESN), which comprises the conventional electrospinning process and a unique electro-netting process. Electro-netting overcomes the bottleneck problem of electrospinning technique and provides a versatile method for generating spider-web-like nano-nets with ultrafine fiber diameter less than 20 nm. Nano-nets, supported by the conventional electrospun nanofibers in the nano-fiber/nets (NFN) membranes, exhibit numerious attractive characteristics such as extremely small diameter, high porosity, and Steiner tree network geometry, which make NFN membranes optimal candidates for many significant applications. The progress made during the last few years in the field of ESN is highlighted in this review, with particular emphasis on results obtained in the author's research units. After a brief description of the development of the electrospinning and ESN techniques, several fundamental properties of NFN nanomaterials are addressed. Subsequently, the used polymers and the state-of-the-art strategies for the controllable fabrication of NFN membranes are highlighted in terms of the ESN process. Additionally, we highlight some potential applications associated with the remarkable features of NFN nanostructure. Our discussion is concluded with some personal perspectives on the future development in which this wonderful technique could be pursued.
