Abstract
In this research, bio-based electrospun multilayered films for food packaging applications with good barrier properties and close to superhydrophobic behavior were developed. For this purpose, two different biopolymers, a low-melting point and fully bio-based synthetic aliphatic copolyamide 1010/1014 (PA1010/1014) and the microbially synthesized poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) and food-contact-complying organomodified silica (SiO2) nanostructured microparticles, were processed by electrospinning. The production of the multilayer structure was finally obtained by means of a thermal post-treatment, with the aim to laminate all of the components by virtue of the so-called interfiber coalescence process. The so developed fully electrospun films were characterized according to their morphology, their permeance to water vapor and oxygen, the mechanical properties, and their water contact angle properties. Interestingly, the annealed electrospun copolyamide did not show the expected improved barrier behavior as a monolayer. However, when it was built into a multilayer form, the whole assembly exhibited a good barrier, an improved mechanical performance compared to pure PHBV, an apparent water contact angle of ca. 146°, and a sliding angle of 8°. Consequently, these new biopolymer-based multilayer films could be a bio-based alternative to be potentially considered in more environmentally friendly food packaging strategies.

Fabrication of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) Fibers Using Centrifugal Fiber Spinning: Structure, Properties and Application Potential. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 15:polym15051181. [PMID: 36904422 PMCID: PMC10006915 DOI: 10.3390/polym15051181] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/23/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
Biobased and biodegradable polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are currently gaining momentum. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBHHx) polymer has a useful processing window for extrusion and injection molding of packaging, agricultural and fishery applications with required flexibility. Processing PHBHHx into fibers using electrospinning or centrifugal fiber spinning (CFS) can further broaden the application area, although CFS remains rather unexplored. In this study, PHBHHx fibers are centrifugally spun from 4-12 wt.% polymer/chloroform solutions. Beads and beads-on-a-string (BOAS) fibrous structures with an average diameter (ϕav) between 0.5 and 1.6 µm form at 4-8 wt.% polymer concentrations, while more continuous fibers (ϕav = 3.6-4.6 µm) with few beads form at 10-12 wt.% polymer concentrations. This change is correlated with increased solution viscosity and enhanced mechanical properties of the fiber mats (strength, stiffness and elongation values range between 1.2-9.4 MPa, 11-93 MPa, and 102-188%, respectively), though the crystallinity degree of the fibers remains constant (33.0-34.3%). In addition, PHBHHx fibers are shown to anneal at 160 °C in a hot press into 10-20 µm compact top-layers on PHBHHx film substrates. We conclude that CFS is a promising novel processing technique for the production of PHBHHx fibers with tunable morphology and properties. Subsequent thermal post-processing as a barrier or active substrate top-layer offers new application potential.

The Potential for the Direct and Alternating Current-Driven Electrospinning of Polyamides. NANOMATERIALS 2022; 12:nano12040665.

Abstract
The paper provides a description of the potential for the direct current- and alternating current-driven electrospinning of various linear aliphatic polyamides (PA). Sets with increasing concentrations of selected PAs were dissolved in a mixture of formic acid and dichloromethane at a weight ratio of 1:1 and spun using a bar electrode applying direct and alternating high voltage. The solubility and spinnability of the polyamides were investigated and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images were acquired of the resulting nanofiber layers. The various defects of the spun fibers and their diameters were detected and subsequently measured. Moreover, the dynamic viscosity and conductivity were also subjected to detailed investigation. The most suitable concentrations for each of the PAs were determined according to previous findings, and the solutions were spun using a NanospiderTM device at the larger scale. The fiber diameters of these samples were also measured. Finally, the surface energy of the fiber layers produced by the NanospiderTM device was measured aimed at selecting a suitable PA for a particular application.

Abstract
Solvent-precipitated nylon 66 (SP PA66) is a key material used to fabricate microfiltration membranes. The crystallization kinetics and behavior of SP PA66 were investigated through differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarized optical microscopy (POM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Avrami equation was used to describe the isothermal crystallization of SP PA66. Nonisothermal crystallization behaviors were analyzed using Avrami equations modified by Jeziorny, Ozawa and Mo. The Avrami analysis demonstrated that the k values of SP PA66 were higher than those of neat PA66. The n was between 2 and 3 indicating the presence of two- and three-dimensional mode with thermal nucleation. With an increasing cooling rate, the Jeziorny crystallization rate constant increased for SP PA66; however, the Ozawa model was not satisfactory for all SP PA66 samples. The Mo method suggested that SP PA66 had a faster crystallization rate than neat PA66 during the nonisothermal crystallization process. The solvents dissolved nylon 66, rearranged it and formed a regular hydrogen-bonded region. These regions served as nucleation sites and increased the crystallization rate constant in the subsequent melting process. The crystal morphology of the SP PA66 under the POM investigation exhibited Maltese cross spherulites. The sizes of the spherulites of SP PA66 were significantly smaller than those of neat PA66. Wide-angle XRD revealed that SP PA66 had the same crystal structure and a higher crystal perfection than neat PA66.

Smart composite nanofiber mats with thermal management functionality. Sci Rep 2021; 11:4256.

Abstract
Nanofibers with thermal management ability are attracting great attention in both academia and industry due to the increasing interest in energy storage applications, thermal insulation, and thermal comfort. While electrospinning is basically a fiber formation technique, which uses electrostatic forces to draw ultrafine fibers from a wide variety of polymers, with the addition of phase change materials (PCMs) to the electrospinning solution it enables the production of shape stabilized phase change materials with thermal management functionality. In this study, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers containing paraffinic PCMs were produced by electrospinning method and the composite nanofibers obtained were characterized in terms of their morphology, chemical structure, thermal properties, stability, thermal degradation behaviour and hydrophobicity. Besides, PCMs with different phase transition temperatures were added simultaneously into the nanofiber structure in order to investigate the tunability of the thermoregulation properties of the nanofibers. Uniform nanofibers with thermal management functionality were obtained. It could be possible to obtain composite nanofibers showing thermoregulation ability over a wider temperature range by simultaneous addition of PCMs with different melting points into the nanofiber structure. 50 wt% PCM could be added to PAN nanofiber structure wherein the resulting nanofiber exhibited 58.74 J g−1 of enthalpy storage during heating and 57.41 J g−1 of heat release during cooling. The composite nanofibers maintained their cylindrical fiber morphology, structure and composition after multiple heating–cooling cycles and retained their thermal management functionality. The contact angle measurements showed that the addition of PCMs imparted hydrophobicity to the nanofibers.

Abstract
A simple and novel ferrocene-nanofiber carbon paste electrode was developed to determine curcumin in a phosphate buffer solution at pH=8. ZnO nanoparticles were produced via a sonochemical process and composite nanofibers of PVP/ZnO were prepared by electrospinning. The characterization was performed by SEM, XRD and IR. The results suggest that the electrospun composite nanofibers having a large surface area promote electron transfer for the oxidation of curcumin and hence the FCNFCPE exhibits high electrocatalytic activity and performs well in regard to the oxidation of curcumin. The proposed method was successfully applied for measurement of curcumin in urine and turmeric as real samples.

Abstract
Nanostructured silicon carbide (SiC)/silicon nitride (Si3N4) hybrid nanoparticles exhibit a high-potential for reinforcement of polymers. In the present investigation, silicon carbide (β-SiC) nanoparticles (~30 nm) were sonochemically coated on acicular silicon nitride (~100 nm × 800 nm) particles to increase the thermal and mechanical properties of Nylon-6 nanocomposite fibers. To produce Nylon-6/(SiC/Si3N4) nanocomposite fibers, we have followed a two-step process. In the first step, SiC nanoparticles were coated on Si3N4 nanorods using a sonochemical method and Cetyltrimethylammonium Bromide surfactant. In the second step, the SiC coated Si3N4 hybrid nanoparticles were blended with Nylon-6 polymer and extruded in the form of nanocomposite polymer fibers. The nanocomposite fibers were uniformly stretched and stabilized using a two-set Godet roll machine. The diameters of the extruded neat Nylon-6 and SiC/Si3N4/Nylon-6 nanocomposite fibers were measured using a scanning electron microscope and then tested for their tensile and thermal properties. These results were compared with the neat Nylon-6 polymer fibers. These results clearly indicate that the as-prepared nanocomposite polymer fibers are much higher in tensile strength (242%) and Young’s modulus (716%) as compared to the neat polymer fibers.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a process for generating micrometer or nanometer scale polymer fibers with large surface areas and high porosity. For tissue engineering research, the electrospinning technique provides a quick way to fabricate fibrous scaffolds with dimensions comparable to the extracellular matrix (ECM). A variety of materials can be used in the electrospinning process, including natural biomaterials as well as synthetic polymers. The natural biomaterials have advantages such as excellent biocompatibility and biodegradability, which can be more suitable for making biomimic scaffolds. In the last two decades, there have been growing numbers of studies of biomaterial fibrous scaffolds using the electrospinning process. In this review, we will discuss biomaterials in the electrospinning process and their applications in tissue engineering.

Abstract
A busca por fibras poliméricas com diâmetros na ordem de nanômetros tem sido alvo dos pesquisadores e das indústrias, sendo que essas fibras possuem diversas aplicações. Estas fibras podem ser produzidas pelo processo de eletrofiação a partir da solução polimérica. Neste trabalho, fibras de nanocompósitos de poliamida 6,6 e argila montmorilonita foram obtidas via mistura no estado fundido, seguida da eletrofiação da solução dessa mistura. Nanocompósitos com três diferentes concentrações de argila, 2, 3 e 4% em peso, foram obtidos via mistura no estado fundido, e soluções desses nanocompósitos em ácido fórmico foram preparadas em diferentes concentrações. A influência da adição de argila, da concentração da solução de nanocompósitos, da variação do campo elétrico aplicado sobre as propriedades das misturas, das soluções e finalmente sobre o diâmetro médio das fibras obtidas foi estudada. Medidas de difração de raios-x a altos ângulos (DRX) e de microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET) comprovaram que o processo de eletrofiação foi eficiente na manutenção da esfoliação da argila das fibras obtidas. Resultados de microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV) e de calorimetria de varredura diferencial (DSC) permitiram concluir que as fibras obtidas possuem diâmetros médios na ordem de nanômetros, são cilíndricas, não porosas, possuem baixo grau de cristalinidade e apresentam solvente residual. A adição de argila aumentou ligeiramente a viscosidade da solução e consequentemente um pequeno aumento do diâmetro médio das nanofibras foi observado. Por outro lado, um aumento do diâmetro médio das nanofibras com o aumento da concentração polimérica foi observado. Em relação ao campo elétrico aplicado notou-se uma tendência na diminuição do diâmetro médio das fibras à medida que este parâmetro diminui.

Abstract
In this study, an electro-spun co-polymer PLGA/PCL blend was fabricated using various percentages of PLGA in the blend PLGA/PCL solutions. The PLGA/PCL ratios used to fabricate the electrospun fibrous mats were reflected in the FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) data. Experimental results from the MTT assay showed that the biocompatibility of the electro-spun co-polymer increased at increasing percentages of PLGA. In vitro cells adhesion and proliferation of fibroblast cells on electro-spun mats were characterized by SEM morphology. In addition, we found that increasing PLGA concentrations affected the mechanical properties of electro-spun membranes and increased the biocompatibility of PLGA/PCL electro-spun fibrous mats.

Abstract
Electrospinning is a highly versatile method to process solutions or melts, mainly of polymers, into continuous fibers with diameters ranging from a few micrometers to a few nanometers. This technique is applicable to virtually every soluble or fusible polymer. The polymers can be chemically modified and can also be tailored with additives ranging from simple carbon-black particles to complex species such as enzymes, viruses, and bacteria. Electrospinning appears to be straightforward, but is a rather intricate process that depends on a multitude of molecular, process, and technical parameters. The method provides access to entirely new materials, which may have complex chemical structures. Electrospinning is not only a focus of intense academic investigation; the technique is already being applied in many technological areas.

Abstract
Functional core—shell structured composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning two polymer solutions in a coaxial system. The core—shell structured nanofibers were comprised of varying concentrations of polyurethane (PU, shell) and a Nylon-6 (core). The resultant nanofibers were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and tensile mechanical test. Furthermore, water vapor transmission rate and pliability of cotton fabrics coated with non-woven mats of the core—shell structured nanofibers were also measured. The results indicated that it is feasible to attach composite nanofibers onto a textile substrate.
