TL;DR: In this article, the influence of humidity and temperature on the formation and the properties of nanofibres are studied using cellulose acetate (CA) and poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP) as target materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a range of acid aqueous solutions are studied towards their suitability for developing chitosan nanofibres by electrospinning, and it was found that parameters such as type of solvent, pH, concentration of chitosa, viscosity, charge density, applied voltage, solution flow rate, distance from nozzle tip to collector surface and time play a role in the characteristics of the obtained nanofiberrous structures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of nanofiber microfiltration membranes, spun by an innovative electrospinning technique, in water filtration applications was evaluated, and the test showed that the electrospun membranes can be used for water filtering applications, but that further research is necessary towards irreversible fouling properties and level of functionalisation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the use of functionalised electrospun nanofibre microfiltration membranes, spun by an innovative electrospinning technique, for water disinfection was evaluated.

TL;DR: In this article, a polyaramide woven structure was used as substrate and selected because of its excellent mechanical properties and thermal resistivity, and polypyrrole was deposited chemically.
