Preparation and characterization of antibacterial fibrous membranes composites based on green synthesized nanoparticles loaded on electrospun polyacrylonitrile fibrous membranes (opens in new tab)

The functionalization of electrospun nanofibers with a wide range of materials allows them to be used for a variety of applications. In this work, Ag NPs, ZnO NPs and CuO NPs were synthesized through green methods and characterized then incorporated separately in PAN nanofibers using electrospinning technique to fabricate antibacterial membranes with high-dispersed green synthesized nanoparticles. The nanofibers composites PAN/AgNPs, PAN/ZnO NPs and PAN/CuONPs and plain PAN were characterized...
