Pd and Pd,In nanoparticles supported on polymer fibres as catalysts for the nitrate and nitrite reduction in aqueous media
(Elsevier Ltd, 2019-12)
The presence of high concentrations of nitrate and nitrite ions in water sources is an actual environmental problem. Nowadays, there are several technologies for nitrate and nitrite treatment, but most of them involve the ...
Release kinetics of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) polyphenols from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrospun nanofibers in several food simulants
(Elsevier Ltd, 2018-12)
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) electrospun mats with antioxidant activity (PVA/Ros) were obtained by incorporating rosemary extract (RE) into the electrospinning precursor solution. RE compounds interact with PVA, favoring the ...
HMDSO-plasma coated electrospun fibers of poly(cyclodextrin)s for antifungal dressings
(Elsevier Science, 2016-11)
Electrospun mats containing cyclodextrin polymers (poly-αCD or poly-βCD) were developed to act as wound dressings showing tunable release rate of the antifungal agent fluconazole incorporated forming inclusion complexes. ...
Potato starch-based biocomposites with enhanced thermal, mechanical and barrier properties comprising water-resistant electrospun poly (vinyl alcohol) fibers and yerba mate extract
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)
Water-resistant electrospun poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) mats and a yerba mate extract (YM) were incorporated together within potato starch (PS) matrices to prepare biocomposites (PS-YM/PVA/PS-YM). The thermal, mechanical and ...
Tailor-made, linear, and “comb-like” polyester-based copolymers: Synthesis, characterization, and thermal behavior of potential 3D-printing/electrospinning candidates
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018-10)
Tailor-made, linear, and “comb-like” poly(ε-caprolactone)-based copolymers were synthesized by employing a combination of controlled polymerization techniques. Poly(dimethylsiloxane-block-ε-caprolactone) copolymers (SCL#) ...
Elasticity response of electrospun bioresorbable small-diameter vascular grafts: Towards a biomimetic mechanical response
(Elsevier Science, 2017-12)
The elasticity response of synthetic vascular grafts is very important for the grafts long term success. Natural arteries possess a characteristic response to internal pressure, known as J-curve. Mimicking this feature is ...
Active bilayer films based on cassava starch incorporating ZnO nanorods and PVA electrospun mats containing rosemary extract
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
Active packaging constitutes a method to preserve sensitive products (in particular foods) and extend its shelf life. In this research, a novel bilayer film with antioxidant and antimicrobial activity was developed from ...
Amphiphilic electrospun scaffolds of PLLA-PEO-PPO block copolymers: preparation, characterization and drug-release behaviour
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-01)
Biocompatible amphiphilic copolymers are attractive candidates for the fabrication of electrospun scaffolds to be used for tissue engineering and the delivery of biologically active compounds. The amphiphilic block copolymers ...
Reversible swelling as a strategy in the development of smart membranes from electrospun polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber mats
(John Wiley & Sons Inc, 2020-02)
This work presents an electrospun nanofibrous membrane for water treatment, designed to reduce its pores through polymer swelling to retain contaminants, and after that, reopening them for easy cleaning. It consists of a ...
Fabrication of electrospun fibers from a waterborne soy-based polyurethane employing polyethylene oxide as a co-former
(John Wiley & Sons Inc., 2021-02)
The fabrication of electrospun fibers made from aqueous dispersions of polyurethane obtained from renewable sources is an eco-friendly method to produce porous membranes for different applications. Polyethylene oxide has ...
