 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Electrospinning is a technique for producing nanofibers by creating a continuous filament by exposing a polymer solution or polymer melt to very high electrical fields. Due to its versatility and cost effectiveness, electrospinning has gained wide use recently to produce functional nanofibers from different materials, which include polymers, polymer blends, ceramics, sol-gels and composite solutions. Electrospun nanofibers and their nanowebs have several remarkable characteristics such as very large surface-to-volume ratio, pore sizes in nano range, unique physical properties along with the design flexibility for chemical/physical functionalization by incorporating specific additives into nanofibers. The unique properties and specific functionalities of such nanofibers/nanowebs make them favorable candidates in many applications areas such as medical/biotechnology, filtration and membrane technology, functional textiles, sensors, energy, composite materials, etc. Nanofibers/nanowebs from various types of natural and synthetic polymers can be easily produced by electrospinning, yet, improvements and new functionalities are always desired in order to enhance the properties of these electrospun nanofibers/nanowebs and broaden their application areas. Herein, it is proposed to fabricate functional polymeric nanofibers/nanowebs containing specific additives (cyclodextrins, textile additives, antibacterials, etc) by using electrospinning technique. The aim of this project is to produce new functional electrospun nanofibers/nanowebs and investigate their properties for the development of multi-functional nanofibrous materials for applications in filtration, functional textiles, medical/biotechnology, etc. The research proposed here has an interdisciplinary nature in the field of chemistry, materials science, textile, biology and engineering.'
