Electrospun nano-fibre mats with antibacterial properties from quaternised chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol)

TL;DR: Nano-fibres containing quaternised chitosan (QCh) have been successfully prepared by electrospinning of QCh solutions mixed with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and are promising for wound-healing applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrospun non-woven nanofibrous hybrid mats based on chitosan and PLA for wound-dressing applications.

TL;DR: SEM observations showed that hybrid mats were very effective in suppressing the adhesion of pathogenic bacteria S. aureus and E. coli and are promising for wound-healing applications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combination of electrografting and atom-transfer radical polymerization for making the stainless steel surface antibacterial and protein antiadhesive.

TL;DR: A two-step "grafting from" method has been successfully carried out, which is based on the electrografting of polyacrylate chains containing an initiator for the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) of TBAEMA or copolymerization of TBAEMA with either monomethyl ether of poly(ethylene oxide) methacrylated (PEOMA) or acrylic acid (AA) or styrene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of copolymer brushes endowed with adhesion to stainless steel surfaces and antibacterial properties by controlled nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization.

TL;DR: Novel copolymer brushes have been synthesized by a two-step "grafting from" method that consists of the electrografting of poly(2-phenyl-2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-piperidin-1-yloxy)-ethylacrylate onto stainless steel, followed by the nitroxide-mediated radical polymerization of 2-(dimethylamino ethyl)acrylated and styrene or
Journal ArticleDOI

Superhydrophobic PVDF and PVDF-HFP nanofibrous mats with antibacterial and anti-biofouling properties

TL;DR: In this article, superhydrophobic nanofibrous materials of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly (vinylide fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (HFP) were prepared by one-pot electrospinning technique.
