Point source discharges from municipal treatment plants, compounded by nonpoint source runoff from excessive land application of fertilizer and manure, has produced nitrogen-impaired surface waters and groundwater across the Midwest. This contamination poses health risks to consumers who rely on drinking water sources with elevated nitrate, which has well-established acute and emerging chronic health impacts. Here, we develop surface-functionalized polymer nanofibers for the selective and high-capacity removal of nitrate from contaminated drinking water supplies, including decentralized sources like private wells. Using the material fabrication approach of electrospinning, we harnessed the properties of surface-segregating quaternary ammonium surfactants (QAS) for the dual purpose of reducing surface tension in the precursor solution to produce more uniformly distributed polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibers and to enrich the PAN scaffold with ion exchange sites resembling those commonly used in nitrate-specific strong base anion exchange resins. Through tailored nanofiber synthesis, we determined the optimal nanofiber formulation for nitrate and nitrite uptake across various material properties and solution conditions representative of water treatment. Notably, work with various QAS (chloride, bromide and iodide salts of tetrabutylammonium; TBAC, TBAB, and TBAI, respectively) led us to propose that the size of the halide counterion impacts QAS surface segregation, which in turn influences the number and density of ion exchange sites on the polymer surface, with uptake greatest using TBAC. Materials with an optimal QAS loading of ~20 wt.% relative to PAN in the precursor sol gel resulted in relatively fast uptake (equilibrium time between 0.75-1.5 hours from kinetic uptake studies) with nitrite and nitrate capacity of 6 and ~8 mg/g, respectively, from isotherm experiments. Uptake was confirmed to occur via an ion exchange mechanism, with an established exchange stoichiometry of 1.3(± 0.5) and 1.5(± 0.2) for nitrate and nitrite, respectively. Materials could also be regenerated with concentrated brine, while also exhibiting selectivity (in more complex solutions with sulfate and carbonate) consistent with commercially available nitrate-selective resins. Overall, electrospinning produces surface-functionalized nanofibers with performance that is comparable to commercial nitrate selective resins while in a versatile membrane platform that may help aid integration into existing point-of-use and point-of-entry treatment devices.

“There’s Plenty of Room at the Bottom” ⎯ this was the title of the lecture Prof. Richard Feynman delivered at California Institute of Technology on December 29, 1959 at the American Physical Society meeting. He considered the possibility to manipulate matter on an atomic scale. Indeed, the design and controllable synthesis of nanomaterials have attracted much attention because of their distinctive geometries and novel physical and chemical properties. For the last two decades nano-scaled materials in the form of nanofibers, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanoclays, nanorods, nanodisks, nanoribbons, nanowhiskers etc. have been investigated with increased interest due to their enormous advantages, such as large surface area and active surface sites. Among all nanostructures, nanofibers have attracted tremendous interest in nanotechnology and biomedical engineering owing to the ease of controllable production processes, low pore size and superior mechanical properties for a range of applications in diverse areas such as catalysis, sensors, medicine, pharmacy, drug delivery, tissue engineering, filtration, textile, adhesive, aerospace, capacitors, transistors, battery separators, energy storage, fuel cells, information technology, photonic structures and flat panel displays, just to mention a few. Nanofibers are continuous filaments of generally less than about 1000 nm diameters. Nanofibers of a variety of cellulose and non-cellulose based materials can be produced by a variety of techniques such as phase separation, self assembly, drawing, melt fibrillation, template synthesis, electro-spinning, and solution spinning. They reduce the handling problems mostly associated with the nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can agglomerate and form clusters, whereas nanofibers form a mesh that stays intact even after regeneration. The present book is a result of contributions of experts from international scientific community working in different areas and types of nanofibers. The book thoroughly covers latest topics on different varieties of nanofibers. It provides an up-to-date insightful coverage to the synthesis, characterization, functional properties and potential device applications of nanofibers in specialized areas. We hope that this book will prove to be timely and thought provoking and will serve as a valuable reference for researchers working in different areas of nanofibers. Special thanks goes to the authors for their valuable contributions.

This work is separated into two individual parts. The first part demonstrates the ability to electrospin reagents into water-soluble nanofibers resulting in a stable on-chip enzyme and a microphage storage format. 1a) Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers were spun incorporating the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). Scanning electron microscopy of the spun nanofibers was used to confirm the non-woven structure with an average diameter of 155±34 nm. The HRP containing fibers were tested for a change in activity following electrospinning and during storage. A colorimetric assay was used to characterize the activity of HRP reacting with the nanofiber mats in a microtiter plate and monitoring the change in absorption over time. Immediately following electrospinning, the activity peak for the HRP decreased by approximately 20%. During a 280 day storage study, the loss in activity began to stabilize at approximately 40%. 1b) We then investigated PVP fibers for T7 bacteriophage storage. The bacteriophage was added to mixtures of polyvinylpyrrolidone and water and electrospun the mixture onto a grounded plate. Trehalose and magnesium salts were added to the mixtures to determine their effect on the infectivity of the bacteriophage following electrospinning, and during storage. The fibers were stored at 20 °C in dry conditions for predetermined amounts of time. The loss of T7 infectivity was determined immediately following electrospinning and during storage using agar overlay plating and plaque counting. It was found that the addition of the magnesium salts resulted in less than a 1 log drop of infective T7 as compared to a drop of approximately 4 logs without the salts. The trehalose did not protect the T7 during the electrospinning process, but had a more significant storage effect. None of the electrospinning methods were as effective as lyophilization. The results indicate that the addition of magnesium salts protects the bacteriophage during the relatively violent and high voltage electrospinning process, but is not as effective as a protectant during storage of the dried T7. Conversely, the addition of trehalose into the electrospinning mix has little effect on the electrospinning, but a more significant role as a protectant during storage. Previous studies have attempted to encapsulate bacteriophage in water-soluble nanofibers for delivery and storage, but the treatment has typically resulted almost complete deactivation of the phage. Here we investigated the effect reagents on the activity of T7 during the electrospinning process as well as storage following the electrospinning. Electrospinning can therefore be seen as a low-cost method for rapid dehydration of viruses. 2) The second part of this work is to produce a conductive polymer electrode. The conducting polymer PEDOT(Poly (3,4-ethylenedixoythiophene) modified with a functional group, gold nanoparticles or nano-structured fibers were investigated for use as electrochemical sensing electrodes. synthesized through a vapor polymerization route. [SN1] 1) Carboxylic functionalized EDOT monomers was synthesized through electrochemical polymerization. 2) Gold nanoparticles were deposited by monomer reduction. 3) PEDOT nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning followed by vapor phase polymerization. 4) One-step PEDOT fibers were made from wet vapor-phase polymerization. These materials and structures were characterized using TEM, FE-SEM XPS and FTIR. The advantages of these films are the potential to provide bio-probes binding sites and nano-structures for increased sensitivity. The PEDOT matrix is known to improve catalytic oxidation of the ascorbic acid and functional carboxylic groups provide bonding sites. Additionally, the nanometer-sized gold particles or fiber structures have been demonstrated to allow nanomolar sensing of analyte. Thus, these methods should provide a bio-functionalizable surface with the possibility to detect nanomolar levels of a bio-analyte.

In this research, an emphasis was given to combine the advantages of nanofibers and immobilization of functional agents using electrospinning. Multifunctional hybrid nanofibers were fabricated using electrospinning and functionalized with agents such as inorganic nanoparticles and polymers. Nanofibers were analyzed by a selection of techniques such as microscopy, spectroscopy, and thermal analyses, beside toxicity and bio-compatibility assays. Here, multifunctional nanofibers were fabricated from polymers such as chitosan, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), polystyrene (PS), polycaprolactone (PCL) and further functionalized with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), inorganic polymers, and titanium nitride nanoparticles (TiN NPs). First, PEO-chitosan blended nanofibers were electrospun and functionalized with AuNPs, synthesized via both wet-chemistry and pulsed laser ablation processes where effects of preparation conditions and functionalization agents on physico-chemical properties of functionalized nanofibers were investigated. Thereafter, pure chitosan (AuNPs) nanofibers were obtained from an improved formulation with higher concentrations of chitosan and bare laser-ablated AuNPs. Hybrid nanofibers were also fabricated by blending smart inorganic polymers namely poly (ferrocenylphosphinoboranes) with homopolymers such as polystyrene (PS) and poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO). Finally, the thesis reports the fabrication of polycaprolactone (PCL)-based nanofibers decorated with (ultra-clean) bare laser-ablated TiN NPs. The nanofibers were analyzed using usual physico-chemical techniques, while biological compatibility and toxicity studies showed no adverse effect on the cell growth.
