Article Abstract

Polyacrylonitrile nanofiber membrane functionalized with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane (P-Tris) was used in affinity membrane chromatography for lysozyme adsorption. The effects of pH and protein concentration on lysozyme adsorption were investigated. Based on Langmuir model, the adsorption capacity of P-Tris nanofiber membrane was estimated to be 345.83 mg/g. For the operation of dynamic membrane chromatography with three-layer P-Tris nanofiber membranes, the optimal operating conditions were at pH 9, 1.0 mL/min of feed flow rate, and 2 mg/mL of feed concentration. Chicken egg white (CEW) was applied as the crude feedstock of lysozyme in the optimized dynamic membrane chromatography. The percent recovery and purification factor of lysozyme obtained from the chromatography were 93.28% and 103.98 folds, respectively. Our findings demonstrated the effectiveness of P-Tris affinity nanofiber membrane for the recovery of lysozyme from complex CEW solution.

The emergence of antimicrobial resistance poses significant challenges in conventional antibiotic treatments for chronic wound infections, highlighting an urgent need for alternative therapeutic strategies. To address this issue, we developed a multifunctional electrospun nanofiber dressing co-loaded with anthocyanin (ATH) and asiaticoside (AS) that possesses antimicrobial activity. The tri-layer dressing contains three functional components: a hydrophilic polyacrylonitrile-anthocyanin (PAN-ATH) layer for pH monitoring, a hydrophobic polycaprolactone (PCL) layer for exudate management, and a water-soluble pullulan-Bletilla striata polysaccharide-asiaticoside (PUL-BSP-AS) layer.

Solar-driven desalination has emerged as a sustainable and efficient solution for addressing global water scarcity, especially beneficial in remote, off-grid, and disaster-affected regions. Among emerging technologies, photothermal membrane distillation (PMD) stands out due to its effective solar-energy conversion, scalability, and simplicity. Here, we report a hybrid PMD membrane fabricated by electrospinning MXene (TiCT) nanosheets integrated with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto a poly(vinylidene fluoride--hexafluoropropylene) (PH) substrate.

Acidochromic fluorescent membranes have garnered significant research interest owing to their potential in real-time environmental monitoring and smart sensing applications. However, the rational design of membranes to optimize their structure-property interplay for enhanced acidochromic performance remains further explored. Herein, we prepared various stimulus-responsive micro/nanofibrous membranes using electrospinning technology by incorporating a fluorescent small molecule (TPECNPy-2) with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) to obtain specific properties.

Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) are typically constrained to operate below 200 °C due to the thermionic emission effect and material degradation at high temperatures. Herein, high-temperature-resistant fluorinated polyimide nanofibers (4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride-4,4'-oxidianiline/2,2″-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine, 6FDA-ODA/TFDB) were designed to mitigate the thermionic emission effect through the introduction of trifluoromethyl (-CF) groups. 6FDA-ODA/TFDB nanofibers exhibited a fine fiber structure and a large highest occupied molecular orbital-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (HOMO-LUMO) gap, which enhanced its effective contact area and maintained more localized states for charge transfer.

The increasing discharge of complex wastewater, which poses a significant risk to the environment and health, requires the development of an efficient and versatile treatment technology. In this study, we present a more environmentally friendly bifunctional membrane made by in-situ hydrothermal growth of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) on electrospun nanofibers that can be used for the simultaneous removal of emulsified oils and heavy metal ions. The electrostatically spun fiber substrate consisting of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and polyimide (PI) provided a high surface scaffold for the uniform deposition of gallic acid biobased MOFs, which ensured highly efficient adsorption and filtration properties as well as the advantage of facilitating secondary recycling.
