Xanthine (Xa) determination is of considerable importance in clinical analysis and food quality control. Therefore, a sensitive nonenzymatic amperometric sensor for Xa based on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) has been proposed. The CNFs, which were prepared by electrospinning technique and subsequent thermal treatment, were used to modify carbon paste electrode (CNF-CPE) to construct the amperometric sensor device without any oxidation pretreatment. In application to Xa electrochemical determination, the CNF-CPE exhibited high electrocatalytic activity and fast amperometric response. Various experimental parameters, such as pH and applied potential were optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the dynamic linear range of Xa was 0.03-21.19 μM (R = 0.9992) with the detection limit low to 20 nM (S/N = 3). With good selectivity and sensitivity, the present system was successfully applied to estimate the freshness of fish and determine Xa in human urine, which provides potential application in food quality control and clinical analysis. 相似文献

Polymeric electrospun nanofibers have been gaining notoriety in the same way as their industrial applications, since the manufacturing of this type of material is simple and low-costed. In order to obtain fibrous polymeric material with small diameters and with reduced beads formation, a 24 factorial experiment with triplicate at center point was performed. Cellulose acetate (CA) and cationic cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) surfactant nanofibers were made using a homemade electrospinning apparatus. The assessed inputs were as follows: CA%, CPB%, flow rate, and applied voltage. From the analysis of the response surface methodology and scanning electron microscope (SEM), the optimal concentrations of CA and CPB for producing nanofibers were 21 w/v-% and 0.5 w/v-%, respectively, using a flow rate of 0.7 mL h−1 and applied voltage of 18 kV. Fibers mats morphology shows average diameter of 0.2 μm and 7 nm pore size, as well as it was found that the single fiber unit presented nanoheterogeneity. Mechanical resistance of 2.70 MPa was obtained in the tensile strength test. The modification of CA by the addition of surfactant attributed better thermal and mechanical resistances to the nanofibers without, however, affecting their biodegradability and water resistance properties. The morphological characteristics of the newly obtained CA/CPB nanofibers combined with mechanical resistance provided subsidies to suggest that the as-obtained material presents potential to be applied as an air filter. 相似文献

This paper outlines the shrinkage of electrospun polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) fiber mats during thermal treatment. The thermal behavior and phase changes within the fibers were investigated by DSC and TGA/DTA. Five precursors with different PVP loading in ethanol were electrospun. The mats shrinkage as function of temperature was measured in the RT–200 °C range. Shrinkage rate drastically increased above the polymer glass transition point, Tg (150–180 °C), due to increase in polymer chain mobility. Mats shrinkage at 200 °C as function of PVP concentration showed a minimum at ∼10%wt. Below 10% PVP the mats morphology is non‐uniform, consisting of beads and fibers. Above 10% PVP, only flat and uniform fibers were observed. This paper outlines the dominant mechanism governing the mats shrinkage during heating. In addition, the effect of PVP concentration on the expansion of fibers diameter was investigated and found to be consistent with the linear shrinkage observing a minimum at ∼10% PVP. The effect of applied voltage on mat shrinkage was investigated, and showed a minimum at 12 kV. Understanding the interplay between fibers morphology and thermal shrinkage allows precursor composition and system optimization needed for minimizing shrinkage negative effects on the structure and properties of electrospun fiber mats. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

A glassy carbon electrode was modified with PdO-NiO composite nanofibers (PdO-NiO-NFs) and applied to the electrocatalytic reduction of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The PdO-NiO-NFs were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequent thermal treatment, and then characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Factors such as the composition and fraction of nanofibers, and of the applied potential were also studied. The sensor exhibits high sensitivity for H2O2 (583.43 μA?·?mM?1?·?cm?2), a wide linear range (from 5.0 μM to 19 mM), a low detection limit (2.94 μM at an SNR of 3), good long term stability, and is resistant to fouling.

This work reveals influence of electrospinning of polyacrylonitrile–N ,N‐dimethylformamide solution of different concentrations on nanofiber web color parameters, molecular structure, and heat stability. It is found that fiber diameters depend on concentration through the power law relationship; however, the medium concentration‐based web is characterized by a green–yellow hue, representative of the chromophore color; while, the solvent‐rich and solvent‐poor solution‐based webs give rise to Stokes shifts and ultraviolet‐blue emission bands, attributed to fluorescence. The chromophore structure, present in the neat powder, undergoes changes as a result of electrospinning reflected by the enamine‐to‐ketonitrile conversion and the fraction of C?N conjugation. Blue‐shifting of the C?N conjugation is indicative of a reduction of the π‐electron system, which is coincident with the decreased color saturation value but observed only in the nanofibers prepared from the medium concentration solution. A decrease in the glass transition and an increase in cyclization temperatures also support these findings. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Polym. Sci., Part B: Polym.

Analysis of the thermo-mechanical behavior of electrospun thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) block co-polymer nanofibers (glass transition temperature ∼−50 °C) is presented. Upon heating, nanofibers began to massively contract, at ∼70 °C, whereas TPU cast films started to expand. Radial wide-angle X-ray scattering (WAXS) profiles of the nanofibers and the films showed no diffraction peaks related to crystals, whereas their amorphous halo had an asymmetric shape, which can be approximated by two components, associated with hard and soft segments. During heating, noticeable changes in the contribution of these components were only observed in nanofibers. These changes, which were accompanied with an endothermic DSC peak, coinciding with the start of the nanofibers contraction, can be attributed to relaxation of an oriented stretched amorphous phase created during electrospinning. Such structure relaxation becomes possible when a portion of the hard segment clusters, forming an effective physical network, is destroyed upon heating. 相似文献

Electrospinning is a well-known technique since 1544 to fabricate nanofibers using different materials like polymers, metals oxides, proteins, and many more. In recent years, electrospinning has become the most popular technique for manufacturing nanofibers due to its ease of use and economic viability. Nanofibers have remarkable properties like high surface-to-volume ratio, variable pore size distribution (10–100 nm), high porosity, low density, and are suitable for surface functionalization. Therefore, electrospun nanofibers have been utilized for numerous applications in the pharmaceutical and biomedical field like tissue engineering, scaffolds, grafts, drug delivery, and so on. In this review article, we will be focusing on the versatility, current scenario, and future endeavors of electrospun nanofibers for various biomedical applications. This review discusses the properties of nanofibers, the background of the electrospinning technique, and its emergence in chronological order. It also covers the various types of electrospinning methods and their mechanism, further elaborating the factors affecting the properties of nanofibers, and applications in tissue engineering, drug delivery, nanofibers as biosensor, skin cancer treatment, and magnetic nanofibers. 相似文献

A novel carbon-nanofiber-modified carbon-paste electrode (CNF-CPE) was employed for the simultaneous determination of dopamine (DA), ascorbic acid (AA) and uric acid (UA) with good selectivity and high sensitivity. The CNFs were prepared by combination of electrospinning technique with thermal treatment method and were used without any pretreatment. In application to determination of DA, AA and UA in the ternary mixture, the pristine CNF-CPE exhibited well-separated differential pulse voltammetric peaks with high catalytic current. Low detection limits of 0.04 μM, 2 μM and 0.2 μM for DA, AA and UA were obtained, with the linear calibration curves over the concentration range 0.04–5.6 μM, 2–64 μM and 0.8–16.8 μM, respectively. 相似文献

The modification of platinum nanofibers by silica using the electrochemically-assisted deposition is reported here. Pt nanofibers are obtained by electrospinning and deposited on a glass substrate. The electrochemically-assisted deposition of the sol-gel material then gives the unique possibility to finely tune the silica film thickness around these nanofibers. It also allows the successful encapsulation of a biomolecule (glucose oxidase was chosen here as a model) while retaining its biological activity, as pointed out via the electrochemical monitoring of H(2)O(2) produced upon addition of glucose in the medium. This silica-glucose oxidase composite offers the possibility of comparing systematically the influence of the deposition time on the bioelectrode response and to compare it with the particular features of the deposits. It was found that the film first grew uniformly around the nanofibers and then started to deposit between them, covering the whole sample (fibers and glass substrate), and tended to fully embed the nanofibers for prolonged deposition. The thickness of the silica film is critical for the electroactivity of the biocomposite, the best response being obtained for a silica layer thickness in the range of the fiber diameter (~50 nm). 相似文献

The metallized hybrid nanofiber webs were prepared by using a combined technology of electrostatic spinning and metallization. The electrospun polyurethane (PU) nanofibers were metallized with different thicknesses of copper layer via metal vapor deposition technique. The thickness of the copper layer, which ranges from 10 to 100 nm, was monitored and controlled. The resultant metallized hybrid nanofiber webs were characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), wide angle X‐ray diffraction (WAXD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). FE‐SEM images demonstrated that the nanoscaled copper layers are well deposited on the surface of the PU nanofibers. TGA result indicated that the thermal stability of the metallized hybrid PU nanofibers was dramatically enhanced due to the barrier effects of thin metallic copper layer. WAXD data confirmed that the crystalline copper layers were well deposited onto the PU nanofibers. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the metallized hybrid PU nanofiber webs were increased with increase in the thickness of deposited copper layer. Unlike the organic PU nanofiber webs, it was observed that the metallized hybrid PU nanofiber webs showed higher conductive properties depending on the thickness of the deposited copper layer.

Carbon nanotube (CNT)-loaded and neat polyacrylonitrile nanofibers were produced by a needleless continuous electrospinning method as carbon nanofiber precursors. The details of the stabilization, which is a crucial issue during carbon fiber production, were investigated as these nanofibers are especially sensitive to degradation. In order to determine the optimal parameters, the nanofibers were stabilized at different temperatures. The stabilized samples were analyzed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopic and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) measurements and by the determination of the color changes. The chemical changes during the stabilization (the formation of the so-called ladder-polymer) can be followed by infrared spectrometry, while the conversion can be monitored by DSC. The formation of the ladder-polymer occurs according to the Gaussian distribution function, where the temperature of the stabilization is the statistical parameter, which was also determined. In the case of CNT-loaded samples, the range of stabilization temperature was wider, which provides better controllability of the process. Based on the established models, an appropriate multi-step heat-treatment program could be determined, which led to completely stabilized nanofibers, suitable for carbonization. 相似文献

Silicate produced via the sol–gel process is a biocompatible material that has high purity and high homogeneity. In this study,
we evaluated the feasibility of electrospun fibers of silicate formed into silicate nonwoven fabrics (SNF) developed via the
sol–gel process as substrates for substance production using Chinese hamster ovarian cells CHO-K1, and as substrates for producing
drug metabolism simulators from the human cell line HepG2. We compared the adherent and proliferation profiles of the two
cell types on SNF with those profiles produced on a hydroxyapatite-pulp composite fiber sheet (HAPS). During 14 days of cultivation,
a greater number of CHO-K1 and HepG2 cells continued to grow on SNF compared to those on HAPS. Per unit volume, the HepG2
cells on SNF showed higher hepatic-specific functions than those on HAPS. These results demonstrate the feasibility of SNF
as a cell culture substrate for substrate production, and for producing drug metabolism simulators. 相似文献

Electrospun nylon-6 fibers were prepared from its polyelectrolyte solution in formic acid with different concentrtaions. In situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), wide-angle X-ray diffraction and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) were performed on the nylon-6 fibers heated to various temperatures until melting. For comparison, stepwise annealing of the solution-cast film having exclusively the α-form was also carried out to elucidate the structural evolution. Our results showed that Brill transition in the electrospun fibers occurs at a lower temperature than that in the solution-cast film due to the crystal size difference. Differential scanning calorimetry heating traces on the as-spun fibers exhibited a unique crystalline phase with a melting temperature of ~235?°C, higher than the equilibrium melting temperature of nylon-6. The content of high melting temperature (HMT) phase increased with increasing nylon-6 concentration; a maximum of 30?% of the fiber crystallinity was reached for fibers obtained from the 22?wt.% solution regardless of the heating rates used. Based on the SAXS and FTIR results, we speculated that the HMT phase is associated with thick α-form crystals developed from the highly oriented nylon-6 chains that are preserved in the skin layer of the as-spun fibers. A plausible mechanism for the formation of the skin/core fiber morphology during electrospinning was proposed. 相似文献

Capture and detection of metastatic cancer cells are crucial for diagnosis and treatment of malignant neoplasm. Here, we report the use of folic acid (FA) modified electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) nanofibers for cancer cell capture applications. Electrospun PVA/PEI nanofibers crosslinked by glutaraldehyde vapor were modified with FA via a poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) spacer, followed by acetylation of the fiber surface PEI amines. The formed FA-modified nanofibers were well characterized. The morphology of the electrospun PVA/PEI nanofibers is smooth and uniform despite the surface modification. In addition, the FA-modified nanofibers display good hemocompatibility as confirmed by hemolysis assay. Importantly, the developed FA-modified nanofibers are able to specifically capture cancer cells overexpressing FA receptors, which were validated by quantitative cell counting assay and qualitative confocal microscopy analysis. The developed FA-modified PVA/PEI nanofibers may be used for capturing circulating tumor cells for cancer diagnosis applications. 相似文献

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. 相似文献

We investigate the structure and chemical nature of titania nanofibers synthesized by electrospinning techniques. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is used to identify CO2 clathrates trapped within the nanofiber structures. These molecular species are formed during pyrolysis of the guide polymer. In addition, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) identifies silicon within the nonwoven sheets. This led us to discover that impurities can be inadvertently incorporated during the electrospinning process from something as simple as a short piece of silicone tubing on a syringe pump. These findings should help advance the field of electrospinning by demonstrating the importance of spectroscopic characterization of materials synthesized by this technique.

Chitosan nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning are contaminated by acidic anions from the acid spinning solution, leading to instability of the nanofibers in aqueous solutions, and the traditional fiber treatment method will also lead to the deterioration of the nanostructure. Here we demonstrate a novel approach to removing the acidic anions with full preservation of the nanofibrous structure. The as-spun nanofibers are first protected (stabilized) by reversible acylation. Second, contaminants are then eliminated by hydrolysis; finally, acylation is reversed. Chemical analysis showed the removal of the acidic anions and the graft and removal of acyl groups. Morphological analysis showed that the reversibly acylated fibers had diameters <150 nm and nanofiber structure was maintained after immersion in aqueous solution. The membranes also were compatible with bone cells in culture. The resultant pure chitosan nanofibers show excellent stability in aqueous solution and exhibit broad potential in biomedical applications. 相似文献

In this article, we have aimed to mechanically characterize the nylon 6 single nanofiber and nanofiber mats. We have started by providing a critical review of the developed mechanical characterization testing methods of single nanofiber. It has been found that the tensile test method provides information about the mechanical properties of the nanofiber such as tensile strength, elastic modulus and strain at break. We have carried out a tensile test for nanofiber/composite MWCNTs nanofiber mats to further characterize the effect of the MWCNTs filling fiber architecture. In addition, we have designed and implemented a novel simple laboratory set‐up for performing tensile test of single nanofibers. As a result, we have established the stress–strain curve for single nylon 6 nanofibers allowing us to define the tensile strength, axial tensile modulus and ultimate strain of this nanofiber. The compared values of the tensile strength, axial modulus and ultimate strain for nylon 6 nanofiber with those of conventional nylon 6 microfiber have indicated that some of the nylon 6 nanofiber molecule chains have not been oriented well along the nanofiber axis during electrospinning and through the alignment mechanism. Finally, we have explained how we can improve the mechanical properties of nylon 6 nanofibers and discussed how to overcome the tensile testing challenges of single nanofibers. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
