Fabrication of nanofiltration membrane based on non-biofouling PVP/lecithin nanofibers reinforced with microcrystalline cellulose via needle and needle-less electrospinning techniques.

In this work, polyvinylpyrrolidone nanofibers were electrospun incorporated with lecithin, zero-charge natural segment, as non-biofouling nanofiltration membrane with tunable porous structures. Optimum conditions were studied to obtain nano-pore size capable of nano-scaled objects reduction using needle and needleless electrospinning apparatuses. Fiber diameters were in proportional relationship with PVP concentrations to range from 1.
