In this work, a novel biobased system, characterized by specific features suitable for the removal of water pollutants, was developed. Indeed, system consists electrospun stereocomplex polylactide (sc-PLA)-based fibers, prepared from solutions containing equimolar amounts high-molecular-weight poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and poly(d-lactide) (PDLA), functionalized with an amino polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS-NH2), which added directly into electrospinning solution. The sc-PLA/POSS-NH2...

The development of three-dimensional (3D) biomaterials that mimic natural tissues is required for efficiently restoring physiological functions injured and organs. In the field soft hydrogels, self-assembled peptides (SAPs) stand out as distinctive biomimetic scaffolds, offering tunable properties. They have garnered significant attention in nanomedicine due to their innate ability self-assemble, resulting creation fibrous nanostructures closely microenvironment extracellular matrix (ECM)....

Poly (butylene terephthalate) (PBT) nanofiber mats were prepared by electrospinning, being directly deposited in the form of a random fibers web. The effect changing processing parameters such as solution concentration and electrospinning voltage on morphology electrospun PBT nanofibers was investigated with scanning electron microscopy (SEM). diameter increased rising decreased increasing voltage, thermal mechanical properties characterized DSC tensile testing, respectively.

Abstract Polymer piezoelectric nanogenerators have attracted attention for mechanical energy harvesting, powering wearable electronics and movement sensing applications. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is a flexible efficient electroactive polymer, however, it polymorph which only two phases (of five) are piezoelectric. Herein produced breathable textile‐compatible mats via electrospinning, the polymorphism of PVDF nanofibers during deposition controlled, rather than post‐fabrication, meaning...

Poly(buthylene terephthalate)(PBT)/single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) composite nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The effect of on the morphology, crystallization, and mechanical properties electrospun investigated SEM, DSC, tensile testing, respectively. SEM observations indicated that presence SWCNTs resulted in finer for lower loading; however, a broader distribution, especially higher diameter ranges was found with amounts nanotubes. accelerated crystallization acted as...

Abstract Self-assembling peptides (SAPs) have gained significant attention in biomedicine because of their unique properties and ability to undergo molecular self-assembly driven by non-covalent interactions. By manipulating composition structure, SAPs can form well-ordered nanostructures with enhanced selectivity, stability biocompatibility. offer advantages such as high chemical biological diversity the potential for functionalization. However, studies concerning its potentially toxic...
