Electrospinning Fabrication of Polyvinyl alcohol)/Waterborne Polyurethane/Silver Composite Nanofibre Mats in Aqueous Solution for Anti-bacterial Exploits
Source abstract
Abstract
Nanofibre mats of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) and nanometre silver (Ag) colloids have been fabricated by an electrospinning method in aqueous solutions. Since PVA is a water soluble and biocompatible polymer, it is one of the best materials for preparation of electrospun antibacterial nanofibre mats. WBPU was used as a filler to enhance the properties of homopolymer nanofibre. Transmission electron microscopy analyses showed a uniform distribution of silver in the fibres. In anti-bacterial tests, the PVA/WBPU/Ag composite nanofibres showed excellent anti-bacterial performance, indicating practical uses as a new preservative. Moreover, the PVA/WBPU/Ag nanofibres showed improved thermal properties.
