Pilot-scale production of polylactic acid nanofibers by melt electrospinning

Investigation of drug release from paclitaxel loaded polylactic acid nanofibers

Objective(s): In this study, drug loaded electrospun nanofibrous mats were prepared and drug release and mechanism from prepared nanofibers were investigated.  Materials and Methods: Paclitaxel (PTX) loaded polylactic acid (PLA) nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The effects of process parameters, such as PTX concentration, tip to collector distance, voltage, temperature and flow rate...

recycling of used bottle grade poly ethyleneterephthalate to nanofibers by melt-electrospinning method

used pet bottles disposal is an unsolved environmental problem, and there are many efforts for finding an applicable solution for it. many researches have showed that the degradation rate of the polymers increase with the smaller size of fibers. this work was carried out to convert used pet bottles into nanofibers by melt-electrospinning method. uncolored, washed and chipped pet bottles and the...

Modeling Electrospinning of Nanofibers

A fast discrete model for the simulations of thin charged jets produced during the electrospinning process is derived, based on an efficient implementation of the boundary element method for the computation of electrostatic interactions of the jet with itself and with the electrodes. Short-range electrostatic forces are evaluated with slender-body analytical approximations, whereas a hierarchic...
