Stimuli-responsive fibers were created by incorporating pH-sensitive nanoparticles into electrospun cellulose acetate (CA) and poly(lactic acid) (PLA) fibers. The fluorescent silica nanoparticles, Cornell dots (C dots), have both a fluorescent core (518 nm emission), and a fluorescent pH-sensitive shell (572 nm emission). Using confocal microscopy, the signaling effectiveness of these fibers was studied by varying several parameters: fiber diameter, substrate, and surface hydrophilicity. For the CA fibers, fiber diameter was varied by changing the feed rate during the electrospinning process to 0.03 mL/hr, 0.30 mL/hr and 0.30 mL/min, producing fibers with average diameters of 1.1 [MICRO SIGN]m, 1.8 [MICRO SIGN]m and 9.5 [MICRO SIGN]m, respectively. It was found that fibers with larger surface area had a greater sensitivity to pH change than fibers with smaller surface area. The response of the pH-sensitive fibers also varied when both the nanoparticles and CA fibers were applied/electrospun onto the surface of four different substrates: optical glass slides, cotton, cotton/polyester, and nylon/spandex fabrics. Fibers spun onto glass slides and cotton/polyester showed an improvement in sensitivity to pH change, while the cotton and nylon/spandex samples were greatly influenced by the chemistry inherent to these substrates. Poly(lactic acid) - b - poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-b-PEG) copolymers with block lengths of 1000-750, 5000-1000 and 1000-5000 and bulk PEG were added to PLA electrospinning dopes to create hydrophilic but non-water soluble nanofibers. PLA-b-PEG block lengths strongly affected the total amount of PEG that could be incorporated, spinnability and fiber morphology. Solutions containing>1% w/w of the lowest molecular weight copolymer PLA (1000) - b - PEG (750) formed an unspinnable, cloudy gel. Addition of the PLA (5000) - b - PEG (1000) to the base spinning solution influenced fiber diameters and spinnability in the same manner as simply increasing PLA concentration in the spinning dope. Addition of PLA (1000) - b - PEG (5000) resulted in decreased fiber diameters, and allowed for the highest overall copolymer loading. In final fiber formulations, maximums of 0.9, 2.9 and 9.3 wt% PEG could be added to the fibers using the PLA-b-PEG 1000-750, 5000-1000 and 1000-5000 respectively. PEG (MW = 3350 g/mol) homopolymer was added to the spinning dopes to result in 1.0 and 5.0 wt% PEG in the final fibers. These spinning dopes were electrospun with more non-uniform and variable morphology and diameter size than occurred with the addition of PEG in block copolymer form. Water absorbance by electrospun nonwoven fabrics increased by four times over the control PLA with the addition of 1.0 wt% PEG, and by eighteen times with the addition of 9.3 wt% PEG with the block copolymers. At similar overall PEG loadings, the addition of PLA-b-PEG resulted in a two to four fold increase in water wicking over the addition of PEG homopolymer. The improvement in water wicking was mirrored in the pH-measurement data compiled for these samples on glass slides. It was found that response to pH change was influenced by PEG content, copolymer chain length, fiber geometry and water wicking. Finally, incorporating CA and PLA/PLA-b-PEG fibers into a prototype fluidic chip created a pH-sensing device. The response of the fibers was consistent with the increases in surface area and wicking rate, just as in the glass slides experiments, and proved to be a functional method for measuring pH change.

Biomedical Applications of Electrospinning and Electrospraying describes the principles and laboratory set up for electrospinning and electrospraying, addressing a range of biomedical applications. Sections cover novel combinational approaches, such as electrospinning/spraying and 3D printing. Electrospinning has evolved from being a technique to prepare random networks of textile fibers to a technique to fabricate highly ordered patterns of biomedical materials of defined scale. The technological advancements in recent years with regard to the way the jet is facilitated, how the jet path is controlled, and how the fibers are collected have provided invaluable insights into controlled fabrication of a material of choice. Additionally, the electrospray technique has also evolved from being a technique to prepare food formulations to a technique to prepare cell encapsulated beads for transplantation in clinics. Several innovations in this line, such as those leading to core-shell materials have tremendously changed the way the technique is used. Thus, a combinational approach using electrospinning, electrospraying and 3D printing has emerged. Introduces electrospinning and electrospraying concepts and describes state-of-the-art methodologies Provides comprehensive coverage of electrospun/spray materials in drug delivery, tissue engineering and biosensor applications Presents details of instrumentation involved, along with novel devices for bench to bedside translation, Covers novel combinational approaches using electrospinning, electrospraying and 3D printingIntroduces electrospinning and electrospraying concepts and describes state-of-the-art methodologies Provides comprehensive coverage of electrospun/spray materials in drug delivery, tissue engineering and biosensor applications Presents details of instrumentation involved, along with novel devices for bench to bedside translation Covers novel combinational approaches using electrospinning, electrospraying and 3D printing

This book presents the development of electrospun materials, fundamental principles of electrospinning process, controlling parameters, electrospinning strategies, and electrospun nanofibrous structures with specific properties for applications in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, textile, water treatment, sensor, and energy fields. This book can broadly be divided into three parts: the first comprises basic principles of electrospinning process, general requirements of electrospun materials and advancement in electrospinning technology, the second part describes the applications of electrospun materials in different fields and future prospects, while the third part describes applications that can be used in advanced manufacturing based on conjoining electrospinning and 3D printing. Electrospinning is the most successful process for producing functional nanofibers and nanofibrous membranes with superior chemical and physical properties. The unique properties of electrospun materials including high surface to volume ratio, flexibility, high mechanical strength, high porosity, and adjustable nanofiber and pore size distribution make them potential candidates in a wide range of applications in biomedical and engineering areas. Electrospinning is becoming more efficient and more specialized in order to produce particular fiber types with tunable diameter and morphology, tunable characteristics, having specific patterns and 3D structures. With a strong focus on fundamental materials science and engineering, this book provides systematic and comprehensive coverage of the recent developments and novel perspectives of electrospun materials. This comprehensive book includes chapters that discuss the latest and emerging applications of nanofiber technology in various fields, specifically in areas such as wearable textile, biomedical applications, energy generation and storage, water treatment and environmental remediation, and sensors such as biomarkers in healthcare and biomedical engineering. Despite all these advancements, there are still challenges to be addressed and overcome for nanofiber technology to move towards maturation.
