Electrospinning of Polylactic Acid/silver nanowire biocomposites: Antibacterial and electrical resistivity studies
Source abstract
Abstract
In this experiment direct electrospinning was used to produce Polylactic acid/silver nanowire (PLA/AgNWs) biocomposite fibers. This method engineered and produced nanofibers with core‐shell structure. Antimicrobial activity was studied using AATCC 100‐1993 test method, and electrical resistivity measurement was performed by four‐point probes. The results showed that nanofibers with core‐shell structures can be successfully produced. Results of antibacterial activity testing of nanofibers against both Staphylococcus aureus, a gram‐positive bacterium, and E. coli, a gram‐negative bacterium, indicated considerable antibacterial properties. Further, the electrical resistivity of nanofiber composites based of PLA/AgNWs was higher than that of pure PLA. POLYM. COMPOS., 39:E65–E72, 2018. © 2016 Society of Plastics Engineers
