Portable Nanofiber-Light Addressable Potentiometric Sensor for Rapid Escherichia coli Detection in Orange Juice.

The growing need to prevent pathogen outbreaks is irrefutable in the case of the food industry. Early detection in products, especially beverages, contaminated with bacterial strains is vital to avoid infected foods from reaching the consumer. If E.

The effect of applied electric field on the diameter and size distribution of electrospun Nylon6 nanofibers.

One-dimensional Nylon6 nanofibers were fabricated through the electrospinning process. The effect of the applied electric field and voltage-distance combinations on the diameter and size distribution of the fibers was examined systematically by analyzing scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. The results indicated that maintaining the electric field at 1 kV/cm with the voltage-distance combination of 15 kV-15 cm among all other combinations would result in the optimum average diameter as well as a narrow size distribution of the fibers.
