Study on properties of honey-nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning technique
Honey-nanofibers were fabricated by electrospinning technique in order to study their potentiality for biomedical application especially as wound healing materials. Honey/Gelatin ratios operating voltages and solution flow rates were considered as the experimental variables. All synthesized nanofibers were tested for their sizes percentages of water uptake and contact angles between the fiber surfaces and water droplets. It was found that 1) size of nanofibers and contact angle between the fiber surfaces and water droplet increased with increasing of honey in solution 2) size and percentage of water uptake of nanofibers increased with stepping up of operating voltage and 3) size of nanofibers was minimized at the flow rate of 0.06 ml/hr for each operating voltage of this study.
The Preparation of Silver Fibers with Electrospinning Process
The preparation of silver fiber with electrospinning process was a principle to impulse the iron within the polymer solution. The polymer solution jetted onto the ground collector in nonwoven form when the electric charge was higher than the polymer surface tension. This research had 3 key factors consideration that were electric power supply polymer concentration and length between needle tip and aluminum ground collector. The electric voltage was 6 9 12 15 and 18 kilovolt the ratio of Ag : polymer solution (%wt) was 1:10 1:20 and 1:30 and the length between needle tip and aluminum foil collector was 6 7 8 9 and 10 centimeter respectively. The fibers obtained were investigated and compared to the fiber morphology by Scanning Electron Microscope and the anti-bacteria test via AATCC test method 100-1999 (Quantitative) and 147-1998 (Quality). The optimal electrospinning condition was 18 kilovolt the ratio of Ag : PVA (%wt) was 1:20 at length 7 centimeter. The fibers were continuous average diameter as 183.3 nanometer and available to against bacteria.
Preparation of Ceria Fibers Via Electrospinning Process
Electrospinning is an interesting technique with various potential applications. CeO2 fibers production was achieved via this technique. In this work the prepared condition and the fiber morphology were investigated and described. The optimum condition was 15 kV 7 cm in distance between needle tip and ground collector 50 wt% of i-propanol in the co-solvent. The obtained fibers were continuous with a diameter of 900 nm. The smooth electrospun fibers produced were dried for one hour and then calcined at 450 OC for 3 hours. The calcined fibers were reduced to 600 nm and cracked on the fibers. They were ceria fibers what verified by EDX and XRD pattern. They had high specific surface area to volume ratio and monolith fibers which is applied for catalytic applications.
