Fabrication of PU-Amla Oil Nanofibers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols

The homogeneous solution of Polyurethane (Tecoflex EG-80A, Lubrizol) and amla oil (obtained locally) were prepared by dissolving in Dimethylformamide (DMF) (Sigma Aldrich, UK) to prepare the homogeneous solution. In this present study, PU (9 wt%) solution was prepared and blended with 4 wt% concentration of amla oil to fabricate the electrospun nanocomposite membrane. The amla oil homogeneous solution was mixed to PU homogeneous solution at a ratio of 8:1 (v/v). The PU and PU amla oil membranes were fabricated through conventional electrospinning setup. The prepared homogeneous solutions were taken in the 10 ml syringe and attached to the syringe pump. For both samples, the nanofibers were attained at a voltage power supply of 10 kV was with a flow rate of 0.5 ml/hr. The nanofibers were collected on the collector drum which was placed 20 cm from the needle. Finally, the fabricated nanofibrous scaffolds were vacuum dried for 24 h to remove the residual DMF.

PU-gelatin scaffolds were made at a collector rotation speed of 300 rpm, a voltage of 18.5–19 kV, and a solution flow rate of 1.1–1.2 mL/h. The electrospinning solution was composed of 3% Tecoflex EG-80A polyurethane (batch 01016300734, Lubrizol Advanced Materials, Beveren, Belgium) (w/v) and 15% gelatin from porcine skin (Sigma № G2500, Saint Louis, MI, USA) (w (gelatin)/w (PU)) in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol (Sigma, Saint Louis, MI, USA). After preparation, scaffolds were dried in a fore vacuum for at least 3 h to remove residual solvent before being stored in sealed zip-lock bags.
Flat films (100–120 µm thick) were obtained by casting a glass slide with 3% Tecoflex EG-80A polyurethane solution (w/v) in 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoroisopropanol at room temperature (23–25 °C). After 3 days of incubation, fabricated flat films at room temperature were additionally dried using a fore vacuum to remove the residual solvent and stored in sealed zip-lock containers.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
