TL;DR: Here, plasmonic free-standing films made of biocompatible chitosan nanofibers and gold nanoparticles are engineered by a simple protocol varying the concentration of chloroauric acid to demonstrate potential SERS detection of small molecules in the micromolar range.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the Photosens-containing electrospun chitosan nanofibers described here are of potential interest for biomedical applications, particularly topical photodynamic therapy and tissue engineering.

TL;DR: The fabrication of electrospun material that possesses benefits of both topical antimicrobial and photodynamic therapies is reported that can be potentially used in antibacterial therapy of chronic wounds, infections of diabetic ulcers, and burns, as well as rapidly spreading and intractable soft-tissue infections caused by resistant bacteria.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and properties of nanocomposite fibrous materials and methods for modification and functionalization of fiber surface are discussed, and the prospects for the application of non-woven materials for biotissue engineering and for the development of smart materials are considered.

TL;DR: In this article, the average diameter of polycaprolactone fibers increases with increasing of filler content assuming into account defects connected with embedding microparticles, and the Young's modulus (E) and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of the composites increased with addition of mass fraction of hydroxyapatite (HA) and CaCO3 (CaCO3) micro-articles.
