Electrospun chitosan-based nanocomposite mats reinforced with chitin nanocrystals for wound dressing

Author: Naseria, N ; Algana, C ; Jacobs, V ; John, Maya J ; Oksmana, K ; Mathew, AP Date: Aug 2014 The aim of this study was to develop electrospun chitosan/polyethylene oxide-based randomly oriented fiber mats reinforced with chitin nanocrystals (ChNC) for wound dressing. Microscopy studies showedporous mats of smooth and beadless fibers ... Read more
Enhanced cell mitochondrial activity using electrospun nanofibers

Author: Jacobs, V Date: Jun 2015 Research in tissue engineering related to the improved processes using nanofiber scaffolds has seen considerable progress in the last decade in the regeneration and construction of a number of artificial tissue types. These designs are generally ... Read more
Experimental study and modeling of the electrospinning process

Author: Patanaik, A ; Jacobs, V ; Anandjiwala, RD Date: Nov 2008 In this paper the authors report theoretical modeling of the electrospinning process which is substantiated by experimental study for comparison. Different types of polyethylene oxide nanofibres are spun in the presence and absence of poly ... Read more
Influence of electrospinning parameters on the structural morphology and diameter of electrospun nanofibers

Author: Jacobs, V ; Anandjiwala, RD ; Maaza, M Date: Nov 2009 Electrospinning is a simple method of producing nanofibers by introducing electric field into the polymer solutions. We report an experimental investigation on the influence of processing parameters and solution properties on the structural ... Read more
Optimization of electrospinning parameters for chitosan nanofibres

Author: Jacobs, V ; Patnaik, A ; Anandjiwala, RD ; Maaza, M Date: Jun 2011 Electrospinning of chitosan, a naturally occurring polysaccharide biopolymer, has been investigated. In this paper, the authors report the optimization of electrospinning process and solution parameters using factorial design approach to ... Read more
Optimization of process and solution parameters in electrospinning polyethylene oxide

Author: Jacobs, V ; Patanaik, A ; Anandjiwala, RD Date: Nov 2011 This paper reports the optimization of electrospinning process and solution parameters using factorial design approach to obtain uniform polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofibers. The parameters studied were distance between nozzle and collector ... Read more
A review on electrospun bio-based polymers for water treatment

Author: Mokhena, Teboho C ; Jacobs, V ; Luyt, AS Date: May 2015 Over the past decades, electrospinning of biopolymers down to nanoscale garnered much interest to address most of the millennia issues related to water treatment. The fabrication of these nanostructured membranes added a new dimension to the ... Read more
Review on flammability of biofibres and biocomposites

Author: Mngomezulu, ME ; John, Maya J ; Jacobs, V ; Luyt, AS Date: Oct 2013 The subject on flammability properties of natural fibre-reinforced biopolymer composites has not been broadly researched. This is not only evidenced by the minimal use of biopolymer composites and/or blends in different engineering areas where ... Read more
Studies on electrospun chitosan based nanofibres reinforced with cellulose and chitin nanowhiskers

Author: Jacobs, V ; Anandjiwala, RD ; John, Maya J ; Mathew, AP ; Oksman, K Date: Sep 2010 This paper examines the preparation and properties of cellulose whiskers and chitin whiskers reinforced chitosan nanocomposite fibres by the process of electrospinning. A dispersion of cellulose and chitin whiskers in chitosan solution was ... Read more
