Biomaterials have ushered the field of tissue engineering and regeneration into a new era with the development of advanced composites. Among these, the composites of inorganic materials with organic polymers present unique structural and biochemical properties equivalent to naturally occurring hybrid systems such as bones, and thus are highly desired. The last decade has witnessed a steady increase in research on such systems with the focus being on mimicking the peculiar properties of inorganic/organic combination composites in nature.

Herein we fabricated mesh scaffolds of polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers via spray nebulization of 8% PCL in dichloromethane (DCM) using a 55.2 kPa compressed air stream and 17 ml hpolymer solution flow rate.

The frequency dependence of dielectric properties was obtained over the frequency range 0.1 Hz-1 MHz at temperatures ranging between 303 K and 373 K for perylene dye and acceptors (picric acid (PA) and chloranilic acid (CLA)) in an in situ PMMA polymer.

The novel nanosensors were prepared via immobilization of 1,10-phenanthroline-5-amine (PA) and bathophenanthroline (BP) onto the MSNTs. The resultant PA and BP sensors display high sensitivity for detection the Fe ions in tap water, river water, sea water, two units in simple cycle power station, and biological samples.
