A Mini Review: Electrospun Hierarchical Nanofibers

Electrospinning is a technique that allows the fabrication of continuous fibers with diameters down to a few nanometers. This technique provides a convenient and versatile method for preparing hierarchical nanofibers from a rich variety of materials that include almost all soluble or fusible polymers. The polymers can be chemically modified and can also be tailored with additives. The method provides access to entirely new materials. Until now, electrospinning is also widely being applied in laboratory and industry.     

Fluorescent PMMA/MEH‐PPV electrospun nanofibers: Investigation of morphology,solvent, and surfactant effect

Electrospinning is a powerful technique to produce nanofibers of tunable diameter and morphology for medicine and biotechnological applications. By doping electrospun nanofibers with inorganic and organic compounds, new functionalities can be provided for technological applications. Herein, we report a study on the morphology and optical properties of electrospun nanofibers based on the conjugated polymer poly[2‐methoxy‐5‐(2‐ethylhexyloxy)‐1,4‐phenylenevinylene] (MEH‐PPV) and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA). Initially, we investigate the influence of the solvent, surfactant, and the polymer concentration on electrospinning of PMMA. After determining the best conditions, 0.1% MEH‐PPV was added to obtain fluorescent nanofibers. The optical characterizations display the successful impregnation of MEH‐PPV into the PMMA fibers without phase separation and the preservation of fluorescent property after fiber electrospinning. The obtained results show the ability of the electrospinning approach to obtain fluorescent PMMA/MEH‐PPV nanofibers with potential for optical devices applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Amorphous calcium phosphate/poly(D,L-lactic acid) composite nanofibers: electrospinning preparation and biomineralization

Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) has been recognized as an attractive biomaterial due to its bioactivity and biocompatibility. Electrospinning is a simple and low-cost way to fabricate polymer fibers. In this study, ACP nanoparticles with diameters ranging from 20 to 80 nm were synthesized using a simple precipitation method. ACP nanoparticles were hybridized with poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA) to form ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers by electrospinning, and different architectures including the nanofibrous mesh and tube consisting of ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers were obtained and characterized. The biomineralization and cytocompatibility of as-prepared ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers were evaluated in vitro. Osteoblast-like MG63 cells were seeded on the ACP/PDLLA composite nanofiber meshes to perform the cytocompatibility evaluation. The ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers exhibited a fast mineralization behavior in the simulated body fluid. The attachment of MG63 cells and cytotoxicity of ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers were also evaluated, and the experiments indicated good biocompatibility and bioactivity of ACP/PDLLA composite nanofibers.     

Effect of different solvents on poly(caprolactone) (PCL) electrospun nonwoven membranes

Poly(caprolactone) (PCL) is one of biodegradable and biocompatible polymers, which have received significant attention because they are environmentally friendly and are extensively used in biomedical applications. Electrospinning was a straightforward method to produce nanofibers from polymer solutions in a wide submicron range around 100 nm. However, no clear standard had been established for judging whether a solvent of high solubility for a polymer would produce a solution good for electrospinning. Considering the above-mentioned cause, we explored the effect of solvent on fibrous morphology, FT–IR spectra and ¹H NMR spectra, viscosity and shearing strength, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of PCL electrospun nonwoven membranes in this article. When NMP and AC were used as the solvent for PCL electrospinning, all of them were composed of smooth and nanosized fibers with similar fiber surface morphologies. Meanwhile, when DCM and CF were used as solvent, there were lots of holes in fibers due to high evaporation. The electrospinnability was good when CA was chosen as solvent due to its lowest viscosity.     

Parameter study and characterization for polyacrylonitrile nanofibers fabricated via centrifugal spinning process

Electrospinning is currently the most popular method for producing polymer nanofibers. However, the low production rate and safety concern limit the practical use of electrospinning as a cost-effective nanofiber fabrication approach. Herein, we present a novel and simple centrifugal spinning technology that extrudes nanofibers from polymer solutions by using a high-speed rotary and perforated spinneret. Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers were prepared by selectively varying parameters that can affect solution intrinsic properties and operational conditions. The resultant PAN nanofibers were characterized by SEM, and XRD. The correlation between fiber morphology and processing conditions was established. Results demonstrated that the fiber morphology can be easily manipulated by controlling the spinning parameters and the centrifugal spinning process is a facile approach for fabricating polymer nanofibers in a large-scale and low-cost fashion.
