The silk fibroin (SF) nanofibrous membrane is a good candidate for clinical application in bone and periodontal regenerative therapy. Strontium (Sr), as a natural element in human bone, can hinder osteoclast activity and promote bone formation. This study aims to evaluate in vitro and in vivo the feasibility of strontium-loaded silk fibroin nanofibrous membrane (Sr-SFM) for guided bone regenera...

Ion exchange (IEX) chromatography is commonly used in separation and purification systems. However, micropore blockage within its resin structure can easily lead to a reduction in the effectiveness of purification. To tackle this problem, we adopted the concept of membrane separation by combining electrospinning techniques with rapid alkaline hydrolysis to prepare a weak acid IEX nanofibrous me...

A novel inclusion complexes nanofibrous membrane fluorescent sensor was prepared for recognizing F- via electrospinning and host–guest interaction. The host α-cyclodextrin on the surface of electrospun nanofiber is assembled into guest azobenzene molecule which modified with probe, formation complex fixed without external force, to prepare a controllable composite detection. exhibited favourabl...

Hybrid nanofibrous membranes of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan with different chitosan amounts (32.3, 62.7, and 86.5%) were fabricated via a specially designed electrospinning setup consisting of two sets of separate syringe pumps and power supplies. After soaking in chloroform overnight to dissolve PLGA, the amount of chitosan in the hybrid membranes was determined. The stru...

Electrospun nanofibers have tremendous potential as novel scaffolds for tissue engineering of various soft and hard tissues because of thier high surface area, surface functional groups, interconnected pores, and nano-scaled size. In this chapter, we reviewed the types of the nanofibrous scaffolds that have been used as implantable biomedical devices and used electrospun nanofibrous guided tiss...

Coconut neera is a nutritious natural drink that rich in amino acids, polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals. Nevertheless, the inherent presence of yeast activates fermentation. To prevent fermentation process, it necessary to reduce load fresh neera, at earliest possible. In this research, an electrospun polycaprolactone nanofibrous membrane was used for removal from coconut neera. Randomly orie...

We report the sonochemical synthesis of MOF (metal organic framework) nanoparticles of 30-200 nm in size and electrospraying of those particles on electrospun nanofibers to process a MOF-attached nanofibrous membrane. This membrane displayed significant selectivity towards CO2 and capacity of adsorbing with 4000-5000 ppm difference from a mixed gas flow of 1% CO2 and 99% N2. Applying ultrasonic...

Nanofibrous scaffolds are artificial extracellular matrices which provide natural environment for tissue formation. In comparison to other forms of scaffolds, the nanofibrous scaffolds promote cell adhesion, proliferation and differentiation more efficiently due to having high surface to volume ratio. Although scaffolds for tissue engineering have been fabricated by various techniques but elect...
