Comparison on Properties and Efficiency of Bacterial and Electrospun Cellulose Nanofibers

Comparison on Properties and Efficiency of Bacterial and Electrospun Cellulose Nanofibers Abstract Cellulose nanofibers were prepared from bacterial synthesis (bottom up approach) and electrospinning technique (top down method). Significant differences are noticed between bacterial (BC) and electrospun cellulose nanofibers (EC) in their properties such as diameter of fibers, decomposition temperature, surface area and mechanical strength. Filtration of cadmium oxide micro-particles and Staphylococcus aureus bio-aerosol using BC and EC was prominently influenced by their properties. Furthermore, in-vitro release of sparingly water soluble drug, ibuprofen was carried out using BC and EC as carrier materials. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Fibers and Polymers Springer Journals

Abstract

Abstract Cellulose nanofibers were prepared from bacterial synthesis (bottom up approach) and electrospinning technique (top down method). Significant differences are noticed between bacterial (BC) and electrospun cellulose nanofibers (EC) in their properties such as diameter of fibers, decomposition temperature, surface area and mechanical strength. Filtration of cadmium oxide micro-particles and Staphylococcus aureus bio-aerosol using BC and EC was prominently influenced by their properties. Furthermore, in-vitro release of sparingly water soluble drug, ibuprofen was carried out using BC and EC as carrier materials.
