JOURNAL OF BIOMATERIALS SCIENCE. POLYMER EDITION 2024:1-20. [PMID: 39037965 DOI: 10.1080/09205063.2024.2380567] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/24/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a three-layer small diameter artificial vascular graft with a structure similar to that of natural blood vessels was first constructed by triple-step electrospinning technology, in which polylactic acid (PLA) and collagen (COL) were used for the inner layer, polylactic acid and polycaprolactone (PCL) was used for the middle layer and polycaprolactone and gelatin was used for the outer layer. The properties of the artificial vascular graft were adjusted by the EDC/NHS cross-linking agent through the reaction between the collagen or gelatine and EDC/NHS. The mechanical and hydrophilic properties of the cross-linked artificial vessels were substantially enhanced, with a maximum stress of 9.56 MPa in the axial direction and 9.31 MPa in the radial direction for the P/C (4:1) vascular graft, which exceeded that of many textile-based and natural vascular grafts. The increased hydrophilicity of the inner layer of the vessel before crosslinking was due to the addition of COL, and the inner layer of the artificial vessel after crosslinking had a substantial increase in hydrophilicity due to the production of a more hydrophilic urea derivative. The increased hydrophilicity led to easier cell adhesion to the inner layer of the artificial vessel, especially for the P/C (2:1) vascular graft, where the cell proliferation rate and adhesion were high due to COL incorporation and cross-linking. The three-layer vascular grafts studied did not lead to haemolysis. Therefore, the EDC/NHS cross-linked three-layer vascular graft had good mechanical properties, hydrophilicity, anticoagulation and could enhance cell adhesion and proliferation.

Abstract
Skin tissue engineering (STE) is widely regarded as an effective approach for skin regeneration. Several synthetic biomaterials utilized for STE have demonstrated favorable fibrillar characteristics, facilitating the regeneration of skin tissue at the site of injury, yet they have exhibited a lack of in situ degradation. Various types of skin regenerative materials, such as hydrogels, nanofiber scaffolds, and 3D-printing composite scaffolds, have recently emerged for use in STE. Electrospun nanofiber scaffolds possess distinct advantages, such as their wide availability, similarity to natural structures, and notable tissue regenerative capabilities, which have garnered the attention of researchers. Hence, electrospun nanofiber scaffolds may serve as innovative biological materials possessing the necessary characteristics and potential for use in tissue engineering. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds to facilitate regeneration of skin tissues. Nevertheless, there is a need to enhance the rapid degradation and limited mechanical properties of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds in order to strengthen their effectiveness in soft tissue engineering applications in clinical settings. This Review centers on advanced research into electrospun nanofiber scaffolds, encompassing preparation methods, materials, fundamental research, and preclinical applications in the field of science, technology, and engineering. The existing challenges and prospects of electrospun nanofiber scaffolds in STE are also addressed.

Abstract
Massive bleeding resulting from civil and martial accidents can often lead to shock or even death, highlighting the critical need for the development of rapid and efficient hemostatic materials. While various types of hemostatic materials are currently utilized in clinical practice, they often come with limitations such as poor biocompatibility, toxicity, and biodegradability. Polysaccharides, such as alginate (AG), chitosan (CS), cellulose, starch, hyaluronic acid (HA), and dextran, have exhibit excellent biocompatibility and in vivo biodegradability. Their degradation products are non-toxic to surrounding tissues and can be absorbed by the body. As a result, polysaccharides have been extensively utilized in the development of hemostatic materials and have gained significant attention in the field of in vivo hemostasis. This review offers an overview of the different forms, hemostatic mechanisms, and specific applications of polysaccharides. Additionally, it discusses the future opportunities and challenges associated with polysaccharide-based hemostats.

Abstract
Wound infection is still an important challenge in healing of different types of skin injuries. This highlights the need for new and improved antibacterial agents with novel and different mechanisms of action. In this study, by electrospinning process Tanacetum polycephalum essential oil (EO), as a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory agent, along with Amoxicillin (AMX) as an antibiotic are incorporated into PVA/gelatin-based nanofiber mats individually and in combination to fabricate a novel wound dressing. Briefly, we fabricated PVA/gelatin loaded by Amoxicillin as first layer for direct contact with wound surface to protects the wound from exogenous bacteria, and then built a PVA/gelatin/Tanacetum polycephalum essential oil layer on the first layer to help cleanses the wound from infection and accelerates wound closure. Finally, PVA/gelatin layer as third layer fabricated on middle layer to guarantee desirable mechanical properties. For each layer, the electrospinning parameters were adjusted to form bead-free fibers. The morphology of fabricated nanofiber scaffolds was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Microscopic images demonstrated the smooth bead-free microstructures fabrication of every layer of nanofiber with a uniform fiber size of 126.888 to 136.833 nm. While, EO and AMX increased the diameter of nanofibers but there was no change in physical structure of nanofiber. The water contact angle test demonstrated hydrophilicity of nanofibers with 47.35°. Although EO and AMX had little effect on reducing hydrophilicity but nanofibers with contact angle between 51.4° until 65.4° are still hydrophilic. Multilayer nanofibers loaded by EO and AMX killed 99.99 % of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria in comparison with control and PVA/gelatin nanofiber. Also, in addition to confirming the non-toxicity of nanofibers, MTT results also showed the acceleration of cell proliferation. In vivo wound evaluation in mouse models showed that designed nanofibrous scaffolds could be an appropriate option for wound treatment due to their positive effect on angiogenesis, collagen deposition, granulation tissue formation, epithelialization, and wound closure.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to develop novel micro-nanofibers for food packaging using grapevine extract (GLP) and gelatine using electroblowing technique. The identified components of GLP were dominated by the flavone group phenolics, as analyzed by LC-MS/MS. SBS was used to fabricate gelatine micro-nanofiber mats loaded with three different concentrations of GLP, which were subsequently cross-linked. The micro-nanofibers were characterized by their morphology, chemistry, thermal properties, and bioactivity. The in-vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial effects of the nanofiber mats were determined using various methods, which showed an increase in effectiveness with increasing GLP concentration. The in-situ assessment, where the nanofibers were applied to cheese, also showed a consistent improvement in shelf life with the use of GLP-loaded gelatin electroblown fibers.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process with four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Current treatments such as cotton and gauze may delay the wound healing process which gives a demand for more innovative treatments. Nanofibers are nanoparticles that resemble the extracellular matrix of the skin and have a large specific surface area, high porosity, good mechanical properties, controllable morphology, and size. Nanofibers are generated by electrospinning method that utilizes high electric force. Electrospinning device composed of high voltage power source, syringe that contains polymer solution, needle, and collector to collect nanofibers. Many polymers can be used in nanofiber that can be from natural or from synthetic origin. As such, electrospun nanofibers are potential scaffolds for wound healing applications. This review discusses the advanced electrospun nanofiber morphologies used in wound healing that is prepared by modified electrospinning techniques.

Development of dual-functional core-shell electrospun mats with controlled release of anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial agents for the treatment of corneal alkali burn injuries. BIOMATERIALS ADVANCES 2023; 154:213648.

Abstract
In this study, a novel dual-drug carrier for the co-administration of an anti-inflammatory and antibiotic agent consisting of core-shell nanofibers for the treatment of cornea alkali burns was designed. The core-shell nanofibers were prepared via coaxial electrospinning of curcumin-loaded silk fibroin as the core and vancomycin-loaded chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the shell. Electron microscopy (SEM and TEM) images confirmed the preparation of smooth, bead-free, and continuous fibers that formed clear core-shell structures. For further studies, nanofiber mats were cross-linked by heat treatment to avoid rapid disintegration in water and improve both mechanical properties and drug release. The release profile of curcumin and vancomycin indicated an initial burst release, continued by the extended release of both drugs within 72 hours. Rabbit corneal cells demonstrated high rates of proliferation when evaluated using a cell metabolism assay. Finally, the therapeutic efficiency of core/shell nanofibers in healing cornea alkali burn was studied by microscopic and macroscopic observation, fluorescence staining, and hematoxylin-eosin assay on rabbit eyes. The anti-inflammatory activity of fabricated fibers was evaluated by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Immunofluorescence analysis. In conclusion, using a robust array of in vitro and in vivo experiments this study demonstrated the ability of the dual-drug carriers to promote corneal re-epithelialization, minimize inflammation, and inhibit corneal neovascularization. Since these parameters are critical to the healing of corneal wounds from alkali burns, we suggest that this discovery represents a promising future therapeutic agent that warrants further study in humans.

Abstract
Diabetic ulcers are the second largest complication caused by diabetes mellitus. A great number of factors, including hyperchromic inflammation, susceptible microbial infection, inferior vascularization, the large accumulation of free radicals, and other poor healing-promoting microenvironments hold back the healing process of chronic diabetic ulcer in clinics. With the increasing clinical cases of diabetic ulcers worldwide, the design and development of advanced wound dressings are urgently required to accelerate the treatment of skin wounds caused by diabetic complications. Electrospinning technology has been recognized as a simple, versatile, and cost-reasonable strategy to fabricate dressing materials composed of nanofibers, which possess excellent extracellular matrix (ECM)-mimicking morphology, structure, and biological functions. The electrospinning-based nanofibrous dressings have been widely demonstrated to promote the adhesion, migration, and proliferation of dermal fibroblasts, and further accelerate the wound healing process compared with some other dressing types like traditional cotton gauze and medical sponges, etc. Moreover, the electrospun nanofibers are commonly harvested in the structure of nonwoven-like mats, which possess small pore sizes but high porosity, resulting in great microbial barrier performance as well as excellent moisture and air permeable properties. They also serve as good carriers to load various bioactive agents and/or even living cells, which further impart the electrospinning-based dressings with predetermined biological functions and even multiple functions to significantly improve the healing outcomes of different chronic skin wounds while dramatically shortening the treatment procedure. All these outstanding characteristics have made electrospun nanofibrous dressings one of the most promising dressing candidates for the treatment of chronic diabetic ulcers. This review starts with a brief introduction to diabetic ulcer and the electrospinning process, and then provides a detailed introduction to recent advances in electrospinning-based strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds. Importantly, the synergetic application of combining electrospinning with bioactive ingredients and/or cell therapy was highlighted. The review also discussed the advantages of hydrogel dressings by using electrospun nanofibers. At the end of the review, the challenge and prospects of electrospinning-based strategies for the treatment of diabetic wounds are discussed in depth.

Acta Biomater 2023; 166:241-253. [PMID: 37230436 DOI: 10.1016/j.actbio.2023.05.034] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2022] [Revised: 05/14/2023] [Accepted: 05/18/2023] [Indexed: 05/27/2023]
Abstract
Tissue engineering has promising applications in the treatment of intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). The annulus fibrosus (AF) is critical for maintaining the physiological function of the intervertebral disc (IVD), but the lack of vessels and nutrition in AF makes it difficult to repair. In this study, we used hyaluronan (HA) micro-sol electrospinning and collagen type I (Col-I) self-assembly techniques to fabricate layered biomimetic micro/nanofibrous scaffolds, which released basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to promote AF repair and regeneration after discectomy and endoscopic transforaminal discectomy. The bFGF enveloped in the core of the poly-L-lactic-acid (PLLA) core-shell structure was released in a sustained manner and promoted the adhesion and proliferation of AF cells (AFCs). Col-I could self-assemble on the shell of the PLLA core-shell scaffold to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment, providing structural and biochemical cues for the regeneration of AF tissue. The in vivo studies showed that the micro/nanofibrous scaffolds promoted the repair of AF defects by simulating the microstructure of native AF tissue and inducing endogenous regeneration mechanism. Taken together, the biomimetic micro/nanofibrous scaffolds have clinical potential for the treatment of AF defects caused by IDD. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE: The annulus fibrosus (AF) is essential for the intervertebral disc (IVD) physiological function, yet it lacks vascularity and nutrition, making repair difficult. Micro-sol electrospinning technology and collagen type I (Col-I) self-assembly technique were combined in this study to create a layered biomimetic micro/nanofibrous scaffold that releases basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to promote AF repair and regeneration. Col-I could mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) microenvironment, in vivo, offering structural and biochemical cues for AF tissue regeneration. This research indicates that micro/nanofibrous scaffolds have clinical potential for treating AF deficits induced by IDD.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofiber mats are usually applied in fields where their high specific surface area and small pore sizes are important, such as biotechnology or filtration. Optically, they are mostly white due to scattering from the irregularly distributed, thin nanofibers. Nevertheless, their optical properties can be modified and become highly important for different applications, e.g., in sensing devices or solar cells, and sometimes for investigating their electronic or mechanical properties. This review gives an overview of typical optical properties of electrospun nanofiber mats, such as absorption and transmission, fluorescence and phosphorescence, scattering, polarized emission, dyeing and bathochromic shift as well as the correlation with dielectric constants and the extinction coefficient, showing which effects may occur and can be measured by which instruments or used for different applications.

Abstract
In this study, the coaxial nanofiber films were prepared by coaxial electrospinning technique with cinnamaldehyde (CMA) and tea polyphenol (TP) as core material and polylactic acid (PLA) as shell material, and to obtain food packaging materials with great physicochemical and antibacterial properties, zinc oxide (ZnO) sol were added into PLA, and ZnO/CMA/TP-PLA coaxial nanofiber films were prepared. Meanwhile, the microstructure and physicochemical properties were determined, and the antibacterial properties and mechanism were investigated with Shewanella putrefaciens (S. putrefaciens) as target. The results show that the ZnO sol makes the physicochemical properties and antibacterial properties of the coaxial nanofiber films improve. Among them, the 1.0 % ZnO/CMA/TP-PLA coaxial nanofibers have smooth and continuous uniform surfaces, and their encapsulation effect on CMA/TP and antibacterial properties are the optimal. The synergistic action of CMA/TP and ZnO sol cause severe depression and folding of the cell membrane of S. putrefaciens, makes cell membrane permeability increase and of intracellular materials spillage, interference the bacteriophage protein expression, and makes macromolecular protein degraded. In this study, the introduction of oxide sols into polymeric shell materials by in-situ synthesis technique can provide theoretical support and methodological guidance for the application of electrospinning technology in the field of food packaging.

Abstract
New engineering methods and advanced strategies are highly desired for creating novel drug sustained release nanomaterials. In this study, a trilayer concentric spinneret was explored to implement several multifluid electrospinning processes. A trilayer core-shell nanofiber was successfully fabricated, which comprise a drug-free polymeric coating and an inner drug gradient distribution, and then compared with bilayer core-shell and monolithic medicated nanofibers. All the electrospun nanofibers similarly consisted of two components (guest drug acetaminophen and host polymer cellulose acetate) and presented a linear morphology. Due to the secondary interactions within nanofibers, loaded drug with amorphous state was detected, as demonstrated by SEM, DSC, XRD, and FTIR determinations. In vitro and in vivo gavage treatments to rats tests were carried out, the trilayer nanofiber with an elaborate structure design were demonstrated to provide better drug sustained release profile than the bilayer core-shell nanofibers in term of initial burst release, later tail-off release and long sustained release time period. The synergistic mechanism for improving the drug sustained release behaviors is disclosed. By breaking the traditional concepts about the implementation of multifluid electrospinning and the strategy of combining surface properties and inner structural characteristics, the present protocols open a new way for developing material processing methods and generating novel functional nanomaterials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Breast cancer accounts for significant mortality worldwide. Here, we develop a localized, sustained-release delivery system for breast cancer therapy. METHODS Sirolimus (SIR) core-shell nanofibers (NFs) are fabricated by coaxial electrospinning with poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) for the core and chitosan and PCL for the shell. The NFs were characterized by SEM, AFM, TEM, XRD, FTIR, water uptake, water contact angle, mechanical properties, drug content, and in vitro release. In vitro and in vivo anticancer effects were investigated. RESULTS A sustained release behavior is observed during 480 h that is more extended compared to monoaxial NFs. In vitro cytotoxicity and Annexin V/propidium iodide assays indicate that SIR-loaded coaxial NFs are effective in inhibiting proliferation of 4T1 and MCF-7 cells. Implantation of SIR NFs in 4T1 breast tumor-bearing mice inhibits tumor growth significantly compared to free drug. Histopathological examination shows that suppression of tumor growth by SIR NFs is associated with apoptotic cell death. Furthermore, anti-cancer effects are also confirmed by decreased expression levels of Ki-67, MMP-2, and MMP-9. Histological observation of organs, serological analyses, and the lack of body weight changes indicate in vivo safety of SIR NFs. CONCLUSIONS Altogether, we show here that incorporation of SIR into core-shell NFs could act as an effective drug release depot and induce a sustained antitumor response.

Abstract
The potential of the nanoscale structure is utilized by electrospun nanofibers, which are promising materials for wound dressings. Here, we prepared wound dressings constituting polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CS). Curcumin (Cur) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) as antibacterial agents were embedded in PCL/CS electrospun nanofibers and different properties including morphology, physicomechanical, interaction with water, antibacterial efficiency, and in vitro studies were investigated. SEM images confirmed the nanofibrous structure of samples with 100 ± 5 to 212 ± 25 nm in average diameter. Elemental analysis of nanofibers showed a good distribution of ZnO along nanofibers which not only caused decreasing in nanofiber diameter but also increased tensile strength of nanofibers up to 2.9 ± 0.5 MPa and with good elongation at break of 39 ± 2.9. ZnO nanoparticles also facilitated the interaction of nanofibers with water, and this led to the highest water vapor transition rate, which was equal to 0.28 ± 0.02 g cm−2 day−1. The sample containing 3 wt% Cur had the highest water uptake value (367 ± 15%) and the lowest water contact angle (78 ± 3.7°), although Cur has a hydrophobic nature. The release profile of Cur showed a two-stage release and the Peppas model predicted a non-fickian diffusion. Simultaneous incorporation of CS, ZnO, and Cur effectively inhibited bacterial growth. In addition, in vitro studies represented that high content of Cur decreases cell viability and cell attachment. The outcomes from the fabricated nanofibrous scaffolds demonstrated appropriate properties for application as a wound dressing.

Abstract
Nowadays, nano/micro-encapsulation as a pioneering technique may significantly improve the bioavailability and durability of Natural bioactives. For this purpose, chitosan as a bioactive cationic natural polysaccharide has been frequently used as a carrier because of its distinct chemical and biological properties, including polycationic nature, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. Moreover, polysaccharide-based nano/micro-formulations are a new and extensive trend in scientific research and development in the disciplines of biomedicine, bioorganic/ medicinal chemistry, pharmaceutics, agrochemistry, and the food industry. It promises a new paradigm in drug delivery systems and nanocarrier formulations. This review aims to summarize current developments in approaches for designing innovative chitosan micro/nano-matrix, with an emphasis on the encapsulation of natural bioactives. The special emphasis led to a detailed integrative scientific achievement of the functionalities and abilities for encapsulating natural bioactives and mechanisms regulated in vitro/in vivo release in various biological/physiological environments.

Abstract
Wound healing greatly affects patients' health and produces medical burden. Therefore, we developed a multifunctional electrospun nanofiber dressing, which can inhibit methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), drain excessive biofluid to promote wound healing, and simultaneously monitor wound pH level. The polyoxometalate (α-K6P2W18O62·14H2O, P2W18) and oxacillin (OXA) are encapsulated in hydrophobic polylactide (PLA) nanofiber to synergistically inhibit MRSA. The phenol red (PSP) is encapsulated in hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber to sensitively indicate wound pH in situ. The PSP/PAN nanofiber is directly electrospun on the patterning OXA/P2W18/PLA nanofiber layer to form a Janus dressing. By taking advantage of the wettability difference between the two layers, the excess biofluid can be drained away from the wound. In addition, the Janus dressing exhibits good biocompatibility and accelerates wound healing via its antimicrobial activity and skin repairing function. This multifunctional Janus electrospun nanofiber dressing would be beneficial for wound management and treatment.

Abstract
This article demonstrates the development of nanofibrous cloths by electrospinning of renewable materials, i.e., curcumin-loaded 90% cellulose acetate (CA)/10% poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), for applications in regenerative medicine. The CA is derived from the biomass waste of the oil palm plantation (empty fruit bunch). The nanofiber scaffolds are characterized for the fiber morphology, microstructure, thermal properties, and wettability. The optimized smooth and bead-free electrospun fiber cloth contains 90% CA and 10% PCL in two curcumin compositions (0.5 and 1 wt%). The role of curcumin is shown to be two-fold: the first is its function as a drug and the second is its role in lowering the water contact angle and increasing the hydrophilicity. The hydrophilicity enhancements are related to the hydrogen bonding between the components. The enhanced hydrophilicity contributed to improve the swelling behavior of the scaffolds; the CA/PCL/Cur (0.5%) and the CA/PCL/Cur (1.0%) showed swelling of ~700 and 950%, respectively, in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The drug-release studies revealed the highest cumulative drug release of 60% and 78% for CA/PCL/Cur (0.5%) and CA/PCL/Cur (1.0%) nanofibers, respectively. The in-vitro studies showed that CA/PCL/Cur (0.5 wt%) and CA/PCL/Cur (1.0 wt%) nanofiber scaffolds facilitate a higher proliferation and expression of actin in fibroblasts than those scaffolds without curcumin for wound healing applications.

Abstract
The controversy surrounding the transmission of COVID-19 in 2020 has revealed the need to better understand the airborne transmission route of respiratory viruses to establish appropriate strategies to limit their transmission. The effectiveness in protecting against COVID-19 has led to a high demand for face masks. This includes the single-use of non-degradable masks and Filtering Facepiece Respirators by a large proportion of the public, leading to environmental concerns related to waste management. Thus, nanocellulose-based membranes are a promising environmental solution for aerosol filtration due to their biodegradability, renewability, biocompatibility, high specific surface area, non-toxicity, ease of functionalization and worldwide availability. Although the technology for producing high-performance aerosol filter membranes from cellulose-based materials is still in its initial stage, several promising results show the prospects of the use of this kind of materials. This review focuses on the overview of nanocellulose-based filter media, including its processing, desirable characteristics and recent developments regarding filtration, functionalization, biodegradability, and mechanical behavior. The porosity control, surface wettability and surface functional groups resulting from the silylation treatment to improve the filtration capacity of the nanocellulose-based membrane is discussed. Future research trends in this area are planned to develop the air filter media by reinforcing the filter membrane structure of CNF with CNCs. In addition, the integration of sol-gel technology into the production of an air filter can tailor the pore size of the membrane for a viable physical screening solution in future studies.

J Mech Behav Biomed Mater 2021; 125:104975. [PMID: 34823087 DOI: 10.1016/j.jmbbm.2021.104975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 01/25/2023]
Abstract
The subject of this paper is to develop a highly conductive Graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs)-Chitosan (CS)/Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) (GNPs-CP) nanofibers with excellent mechanical properties. An experimental study was designed to produce nanofibers based on CP nanofibers as matrix and GNPs as reinforcement materials. The microstructure and the surface morphology of the electrospun nanofibers along with their electrical and mechanical properties were examined to study the effect of GNPs content. The SEM results showed that the gradual increase in GNPs content led to a porous web like morphology with no bead. There is a decrease in the diameter of nanofibers by increasing the concentration of GNPs to 1 wt% GNPs from 370 ± 40 nm for CP blend to 144 ± 18 nm for 1 wt% GNPs. Transmission electron microscopy results depicted that GNPs were dispersed uniformly confirmed by the absence of characteristic peak of graphite at 2θ = 26.5°. Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy results indicate the occurrence of a few interactions between GNPs and CP matrix. Nitrogen adsorption/desorption measurement demonstrated that increasing GNPs content increased the specific surface area of nanofibers from 238.377 to 386.708 m2/g for 0 and 1 wt% GNPs content. The test results also show that the presence of GNPs considerably enhances tensile strength, elastic modulus and electrical conductivity. Furthermore, the toughness of GNPs-CP nanofibers including 1 wt% GNPs significantly improved (12-fold) compared to the one for CP nanofibers. So, the proposed composite provides a decent functionality for nanofibers as scaffolds in tissue engineering applications.

Abstract
Myelin sheaths are essential in maintaining the integrity of axons. Development of the platform for in vitro myelination would be especially useful for demyelinating disease modeling and drug screening. In this study, a fiber scaffold with a core-shell structure was prepared in one step by the coaxial electrospinning method. A high-molecular-weight polymer poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) was used as the core, while the shell was a natural polymer material such as hyaluronic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA), or chitosan (CS). The morphology, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), contact angle, viability assay, and in vitro myelination by oligodendrocytes were characterized. The results showed that such fibers are bead-free and continuous, with an average size from 294 ± 53 to 390 ± 54 nm. The DSC and FTIR curves indicated no changes in the phase state of coaxial brackets. Hyaluronic acid/PLLA coaxial fibers had the minimum contact angle (53.1° ± 0.24°). Myelin sheaths were wrapped around a coaxial electrospun scaffold modified with water-soluble materials after a 14-day incubation. All results suggest that such a scaffold prepared by coaxial electrospinning potentially provides a novel platform for oligodendrocyte myelination.

Abstract
The management of chronic wounds is challenging. The factors that impede wound healing include malnutrition, diseases (such as diabetes, cancer), and bacterial infection. Most of the presently utilized wound dressing materials suffer from severe limitations, including poor antibacterial and mechanical properties. Wound dressings formulated from the combination of biopolymers and synthetic polymers (i.e., poly (vinyl alcohol) or poly (ε-caprolactone) display interesting properties, including good biocompatibility, improved biodegradation, good mechanical properties and antimicrobial effects, promote tissue regeneration, etc. Formulation of these wound dressings via electrospinning technique is cost-effective, useful for uniform and continuous nanofibers with controllable pore structure, high porosity, excellent swelling capacity, good gaseous exchange, excellent cellular adhesion, and show a good capability to provide moisture and warmth environment for the accelerated wound healing process. Based on the above-mentioned outstanding properties of nanofibers and the unique properties of hybrid wound dressings prepared from poly (vinyl alcohol) and poly (ε-caprolactone), this review reports the in vitro and in vivo outcomes of the reported hybrid nanofibers.

Core-shell PLA/Kef hybrid scaffolds for skin tissue engineering applications prepared by direct kefiran coating on PLA electrospun fibers optimized via air-plasma treatment.

Abstract
Over the recent years, there is a growing interest in electrospun hybrid scaffolds composed of synthetic and natural polymers that can support cell attachment and proliferation. In this work, the physical and biological properties of polylactic acid (PLA) electrospun mats coated with kefiran (Kef) were evaluated. Gravimetric, spectroscopic (FTIR-ATR) and morphological investigations via scanning electron microscopy confirmed the effective formation of a thin kefiran layer wrapped on the PLA fibers with an easy-tunable thickness. Air plasma pre-treatment carried out on PLA (P-PLA) affected both the morphology and the crystallinity of Kef coating as confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction analyses. Scaffolds were mechanically characterized with tensile tests to evaluate the reinforcing action of the Kef coating. The water resistance of Kefiran coating in distilled water at 37 °C evaluated on both PLA/Kef and P-PLA/Kef was carried out by gravimetric and morphological analyses. Finally, cell culture assays with embryonic fibroblast cells were conducted on selected hybrid scaffolds to compare the cell proliferation, morphology, and collagen production with PLA and P-PLA electrospun scaffolds. Based on the results, we can demonstrate that direct coating of PLA from Kef/water solutions is an effective approach to prepare hybrid scaffolds with tunable properties and that the plasma pre-treatment enhances the affinity between PLA and Kefiran. In vitro tests demonstrated the great potential of PLA/Kef hybrid scaffolds for skin tissue engineering.

Abstract
In recent decades, drug delivery systems (DDSs) based on nanotechnology have been attracting substantial interest in the pharmaceutical field, especially those developed based on natural polymers such as chitosan, cellulose, starch, collagen, gelatin, alginate and elastin. Nanomaterials based on chitosan (CS) or chitosan derivatives are broadly investigated as promising nanocarriers due to their biodegradability, good biocompatibility, non-toxicity, low immunogenicity, great versatility and beneficial biological effects. CS, either alone or as composites, are suitable substrates in the fabrication of different types of products like hydrogels, membranes, beads, porous foams, nanoparticles, in-situ gel, microparticles, sponges and nanofibers/scaffolds. Currently, the CS based nanocarriers are intensely studied as controlled and targeted drug release systems for different drugs (anti-inflammatory, antibiotic, anticancer etc.) as well as for proteins/peptides, growth factors, vaccines, small DNA (DNAs) and short interfering RNA (siRNA). This review targets the latest biomedical approaches for CS based nanocarriers such as nanoparticles (NPs) nanofibers (NFs), nanogels (NGs) and chitosan coated liposomes (LPs) and their potential applications for medical and pharmaceutical fields. The advantages and challenges of reviewed CS based nanocarriers for different routes of administration (oral, transmucosal, pulmonary and transdermal) with reference to classical formulations are also emphasized.

Abstract
Wounds are prone to bacterial infections, which cause a delayed healing process. Regarding the emergence of bacterial resistance to common antibiotics, using natural antimicrobial agents can be beneficial. Chitosan is a biological polymer, which has shown partial antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. In this study, core-shell nanofibrous scaffolds composed of chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as the core and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)/ maltodextrin (MD) as the shell were developed. Satureja mutica (S. mutica) or Oliveria decumbens (O. decumbens) essential oil (EO) was encapsulated into the core of the produced scaffolds. The broth microdilution analysis showed significant antimicrobial activity of the EOs. The SEM analysis indicated that the unloaded and loaded core-shell scaffolds with S. mutica or O. decumbens EO had a uniform, beadless structure with fiber mean diameters of 210 ± 50, 250 ± 45, and 225 ± 46 nm, respectively. The CS/PVA-PVP/MD and CS/PVA/EO-PVP/MD scaffolds indicated suitable mechanical properties. The addition of the studied EOs enhanced the antioxidant activity of the scaffolds. The antimicrobial test of produced scaffolds showed that loading of 10% S. mutica or O. decumbens EO could broaden the microbicidal activity of the CS/PVA-PVP/MD scaffolds. These results revealed that the CS/PVA/EO-PVP/MD nanofibrous scaffolds are promising candidates for wound dressing.

Abstract
Recent advancements in the synthesis, properties, and applications of chitosan as the second after cellulose available biopolymer in nature were discussed in this review. A general overview of processing and production procedures from A to Z was highlighted. Chitosan exists in three polymorphic forms which differ in degree of crystallinity (α, β, and γ). Thus, the degree of deacetylation, crystallinity, surface area, and molecular mass significantly affect most applications. Otherwise, the synthesis of chitosan nanofibers is suffering from many drawbacks that were recently treated by co-electrospun with other polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene oxide (PEO), and polycaprolactone (PCL). Ultimately, this review focuses on the area of new trend utilization of chitosan nanoparticles as nanospheres and nanocapsules, in cartilage and bone regenerative medicine. Owing to its biocompatibility, bioavailability, biodegradability, and costless synthesis, chitosan is a promising biopolymeric structure for water remediation, drug delivery, antimicrobials, and tissue engineering.

Abstract
The outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has triggered great global public health concern. Face masks are essential tools to reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 from human to human. However, there are still challenges to prolong the serving life and maintain the filtering performance of the current commercial mask. Filters composed of ultrafine fibers with diameter down to tens of nanometers have the potential to physically block viruses. With adjustable composition and nanostructures, the electrospun ultrafine fiber filter is possible to achieve other necessary functions beyond virus blocking, such as antiviral, transparent, and degradable, making it an important part of fighting the epidemic. In this review, beginning with the basic information of the viruses, we summarize the knowledge of masks and respirators, including the filtering mechanism, structure, classification, and standards. We further present the fabrication method, filtering performance, and reusable potential of electrospun ultrafine fiber-based masks. In the end, we discuss the development directions of ultrafine fibers in protective devices, especially their new functional applications and possible contributions in the prevention and control of the epidemic.

Synthesis and Characterization of a Core-Shell Copolymer with Different Glass Transition Temperatures. FIBERS 2020.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to synthesize an organic core-shell co-polymer with a different glass transition temperature (Tg) between the core and the shell that can be used for several applications such as the selective debonding of coatings or the release of encapsulated materials. The co-polymer was synthesized using free radical polymerization and was characterized with respect to its morphology, composition and thermal behavior. The obtained results confirmed the successful synthesis of the co-polymer copolymer poly(methyl methacrylate)@poly(methacrylic acid-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), PMMA@P(MAA-co-EGDMA), which can be used along with water-based solvents. Furthermore, the Tg of the polymer’s core PMMA was 104 °C, while the Tg of the shell P(MAA-co-EGDMA) was 228 °C, making it appropriate for a wide variety of applications. It is worth mentioning that by following this specific experimental procedure, methacrylic acid was copolymerized in water, as the shell of the copolymer, without forming a gel-like structure (hydrogel), as happens when a monomer is polymerized in aqueous media, such as in the case of super-absorbent polymers. Moreover, the addition and subsequent polymerization of the monomer methyl methacrylate (MAA) into the mixture of the already polymerized PMMA resulted in a material that was uniform in size, without any agglomerations or sediments.

Abstract
At present, more and more attention has been paid to the development of active wound dressings. Chitosan, a kind of carbohydrate polymer with good biocompatibility, is widely used in the field of wound dressings. In this study, a slopeing free surface electrospinning (SFSE) device was presented to prepare large quantities of polycaprolactone/chitosan/aloe vera (PCL/CS/AV) nanofiber membranes (NFMs) for antibacterial wound dressing. And the morphologies of PCL/CS/AV NFMs with varying weight ratios of PCL:CS:AV were studied using SEM, and the optimal weight ratio of 5:3:2 was determined for better wound dressings. Then the structure, wetting property and yield of the PCL/CS/AV NFMs with the optimal weight ratio were investigated, and the effects of the addition of AV on the antibacterial performance and the biocompatibility of NFMs was studied. In addition, the preparation mechanism of SFSE was researched by simulating the electric field distribution using Maxwell 3D due to the important role of the electric field in the SFSE process. The simulation analyses of electric fields agreed with the experimental data. The results illustrated SFSE could prepare high quality PCL/CS/AV NFMs in batches, and its yield of PCL/CS/AV NFMs was 10 times more than the single-needle ES, and the fabricated NFMs showed excellent antibacterial performance and biocompatibility, which made them suitable for wound dressings.

Abstract
Nanofibers based transdermal drug delivery is a promising platform, and it effectively delivers the drug to tumor sites. The objective of the study was to fabricate stimuli-responsive polymeric nanofibers encapsulated with an active targeting micellar system for in situ drug delivery. Stimuli-responsive core-shell nanofibers release thedrug at target sites with minimum side effects to the other organs, decrease the drug administration concentration. Initially, we prepared CA conjugated PCPP polymeric micelles loaded with PTX. Then, core-shell nanofibers were prepared using PHM with coaxial electrospinning and distinct core-shell nanofibers formation confirm by SEM and TEM. Nanofibers showed a homogenous distribution of micelles inside the fiber mesh, diffusion, and erosion processes lead to a controlled release of PTX.In vitro drug release and swelling, revealed the pH based sustained release of the drug for 180 h from the nanofibers mat. Functional and stimuli-responsive nanofibers highly absorb H+ ions and repulsion of cations promoting maximum swelling to release more drugs in acidic pH. An increased transportation rate of 70% drug release through epidermis for 120 h. Nanofibers effectively internalize to the skin, and it confirmed by confocal microscopy. MCF-7 cells grown and spread over the nanofibers, which show the biocompatibility of nanofibers. Compared to PTX, drug-loaded nanofibers exhibited higher cytotoxicity for 8 days which was confirmed by the flow cytometry. These promising results confirm, the novel stimuli-responsive core-shell nanofibers actively target breast cancer cells and lead the way to safe cancer therapy.

Abstract
Developing wound dressing that inhibits bacterial infection for treating complex wound healing processes has been a research hotspot. Here, we report the fabrication of Cu-MOFs (HKUST-1) incorporated electrospun chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA) fibers through the blending electrospinning for wound therapy. HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA fibers displayed satisfying physical properties, such as mechanical property, water uptake, water vapor transmission rate, etc. Cytotoxicity test indicated that HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA fibers were biocompatible and could support cell adhesion. Due to the HKUST-1 incorporation, HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA fibers exhibited the good antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus with 99% antibacterial efficiency. Furthermore, in animal studies, compared with commercial chitosan dressings and chitosan/PVA fibers, HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA fibers were more efficient to heal the wound with less inflammation. In summary, the HKUST-1/chitosan/PVA fibers with good physicochemical property, biocompatibility and antibacterial property is an excellent wound dressing for full-thickness skin repair.

Abstract
Promoting bone regeneration and repairing defects are urgent and critical challenges in orthopedic clinical practice. Research on bone substitute biomaterials is essential for improving the treatment strategies for bone regeneration. Chitin and its derivative, chitosan, are among the most abundant natural biomaterials and widely found in the shells of crustaceans. Chitin and chitosan are non-toxic, antibacterial, biocompatible, degradable, and have attracted significant attention in bone substitute biomaterials. Chitin/chitosan nanofibers and nanostructured scaffolds have large surface area to volume ratios and high porosities. These scaffolds can be fabricated by electrospinning, thermally induced phase separation and self-assembly, and are widely used in biomedical applications such as biological scaffolds, drug delivery, bacterial inhibition, and wound dressing. Recently, some chitin/chitosan-based nanofibrous scaffolds have been found structurally similar to bone's extracellular matrix and can assist in bone regeneration. This review outlines the biomedical applications and biological properties of chitin/chitosan-based nanofibrous scaffolds in bone tissue engineering.

Abstract
In the current study, we present methods of sodium hyaluronate, also denoted as hyaluronan (HA), nanofiber fabrication using a direct-current (DC) electric field. HA was spun in combination with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) and as a pure polymer. Nonaggressive solvents were used due to the possible use of the fibers in life sciences. The influences of polymer concentration, average molecular weight (Mw), viscosity, and solution surface tension were analyzed. HA and PVA were fluorescent-labeled in order to examine the electrospun structures using fluorescence confocal microscopy. In this study, two intermediate solvent mixtures that facilitate HA electrospinning were found. In the case of polymer co-electrospinning, the effect of the surfactant content on the HA/PVA electrospinning process, and the effect of HA Mw on HA/PEO nanofiber morphology, were examined, respectively.
