Microstructural Study of Nylon-6/Gelatin Composite Nanofibers

Electrospinning is a simple and effective technology for fabricating nanofibers and polymer blending provides strength and minimal defects of electrospun ones. Therefore, in the present study, fabrication, and characterization of nylon-6/gelatin electrospun nanofibers using low-toxic solvents was investigated as means to improve the morphological deficiencies of gelatin nanofibers and facilitate its electrospinnability. The morphology of electrospun nylon-6/gelatin nanofibers were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM). SEM results showed that electrospun blend nanofibers had smooth surface with average diameter of from 40 to 100 nm; while, the miscibility of the blend and thermal behavior of nanofibers were determined using Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Water contact-angle measurement (WCA) was employed to investigating the wettability of nanofibers.     

Fabrication of one-dimensional colloidal assemblies from electrospun nanofibers

Electrospun nanofibers were used as confining geometries for fabricating 1-D colloidal assemblies. Silica particles dispersed in several different polymer solutions were cast into nanofibers by an electrospinning process. The silica particle configurations were examined in terms of the size ratio of silica particles to nanofibers and the properties of the dispersing medium. As the electrospun fiber was extended highly, the silica particles dispersed in the polymer solution began to assemble spontaneously into a pearl-necklace structure. We also demonstrated the alignment of 1-D silica assemblies using a designed configuration of collector electrodes.     

Preparation,characterization, and properties of nanofibers based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane

Nanostructered nanofibers based on poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) have been prepared by electrospinning process. The starting solutions were prepared by dissolving both the system components in the mixture N,N‐dimethylacetamide/acetone. The characteristics of the fiber prepared, studied by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and wide angle X‐ray diffraction, have been compared with those of PVDF fibers. Morphological characterization has demonstrated the possibility to obtain defect‐free PVDF/POSS nanofibers by properly choosing the electrospinning conditions, such as voltage, polymer concentration, humidity, etc. Conversely, in the case of fibers based on the neat polymer, it was not possible to attain the complete elimination of beads in the electrospun nanofibers. The different behavior of the two types of solutions has been ascribed to silsesquioxane molecules, which, without influencing the solution viscosity or conductivity, favor the formation of uniform structures by decreasing the system surface tension. Concerning POSS distribution in the fibers, the morphological characterization of the electrospun films has shown a submicrometric dispersion of the silsesquioxane. It is relevant to underline that cast films, prepared by the same solutions, have been found to be characterized by POSS aggregation, thus demonstrating a scarce affinity between the two‐system components. Indeed, the peculiar solvent evaporation of the electrospun solution, which is much faster than that occurring during the cast process, prevents POSS aggregation, thus leading to the formation of nanofibers characterized by a silsesquioxane dispersion similar to that present in solution. Finally, the presence of POSS improves the electrospun film mechanical properties. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Polymer nanofibers assembled by electrospinning

Electrospinning is a process by which polymer nanofibers (with diameter lower than 100 nm and lengths up to kilometres) can be produced using an electrostatically driven jet of polymer solution (or polymer melt). Simple alignment of electrospun nanofibers constructs unique functional nanostructures such as nanotubes and nanowires. Significant progress has been made in this area throughout the past few years and this technology has been exploited to a wide range of applications. Most of the recent work on electrospinning has focused either on trying to understand deeper the fundamental aspects of the process in order to gain control of nanofiber morphology, structure, surface functionality, and strategies for assembling them or on determining appropriate conditions for electrospinning of various polymers and biopolymers.     

Electrospinning of cyclodextrin functionalized polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers

By means of the electrospinning technique we have successfully synthesized cyclodextrin (CD) functionalized polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers (PEO/CD) with the ultimate goal to develop functional nanowebs. Three different types of CDs; α-CD, β-CD and γ-CD are incorporated individually in electrospun PEO nanofibers. The aqueous solutions containing different amount of PEO (3%, 3.5% and 4% (w/v), with respect to solvent) and CDs (25% and 50% (w/w), with respect to PEO) are electrospun and bead-free nanofibers are obtained. The presence of the CDs in the PEO solutions is found to facilitate the electrospinning of bead-free nanofibers from the lower polymer concentrations and this behavior is attributed to the high conductivity and viscosity of the PEO/CD solutions. The presence of CDs in the electrospun PEO nanofibers is confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy studies. The 2-D X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra of PEO/CD nanowebs did not show any significant diffraction peaks for CDs indicating that the CD molecules are distributed within the polymer matrix without any phase separated crystalline aggregates.     

Single-walled carbon nanotubes embedded in oriented polymeric nanofibers by electrospinning

The electrospinning process was used successfully to embed single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) matrix, forming composite nanofibers. Initial dispersion of SWCNTs in water was achieved by the use of an amphiphilic alternating copolymer of styrene and sodium maleate. The resulting dispersions were stable, having a dark, smooth, ink-like appearance. For electrospinning, the dispersions were mixed with PEO solution in an ethanol/water mixture. The distribution and conformation of the nanotubes in the nanofibers were studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Oxygen plasma etching was used to expose the nanotubes within the nanofibers to facilitate direct observation. Nanotube alignment within the nanofibers was shown to depend strongly on the quality of the initial dispersions. Well-dispersed and separated nanotubes were embedded in a straight and aligned form, while entangled nonseparated nanotubes were incorporated as dense aggregates. X-ray diffraction demonstrated a high degree of orientation of the PEO crystals in the electrospun nanofibers with embedded SWCNTs. This result is in pronounced distinction to the detrimental effect of incorporation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes on polymer orientation in electrospun nanofibers, as reported previously.
