Two types of CeO nanoparticles (CeNPs) prepared by low-temperature (<100 °C) precipitation methods in water were successfully immobilized in a matrix of electrospun PA6 nanofibers. The colloidal solutions of CeNPs in AcOH were directly mixed with the polymer solution before the needle electrospinning process, thereby achieving their good dispersion in the nanofibers. CeNPs embedded in the structure and on the surface of nanofibers exposing their reactive surfaces showed robust dephosphorylation catalytic activity, as demonstrated by monitoring the hydrolytic cleavage of three phosphodiester molecules (-NP-TMP, -NPPC, BNPP) in water by the HPLC method. This procedure allowed us to study the kinetics and mechanism of the hydrolytic cleavage and the ability of immobilized CeNPs to cleave different types of P-O bonds. One of the main hydrolysis products, -nitrophenol, was effectively adsorbed on PA6 nanofibers, which may allow the selective separation of the degradation products after hydrolysis.

Metal-containing dyes in the textile industry release heavy metal ions into wastewater, posing significant environmental risks and complicating treatment processes. Among various removal methods, chemical adsorption through functional groups that form stable complexes is one of the most effective. Tannic acid (TA), renowned for its strong chelation of metal ions via phenolic hydroxyl groups, faces challenges in operation and recycling in its powdered form.

Essential properties for a Point of Use (POU) water filter include maintaining high removal capacity and rate, with excellent mechanical properties to withstand pressure drop. Herein, mechanically robust tri-composite polyamide 6/iron oxide nanoparticles/tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (PA6/α-FeO/TBAB) nanofiber composite membranes were electrospun for phosphate (P) remediation, where the diameter and composition were tuned by controlling solution compositions and electrospinning conditions. Tri-composite composition and morphology affect phosphate uptake where the adsorption capacity followed Langmuir isotherm whereas the adsorption kinetics followed pseudo second order behavior.

Various wound dressings have been developed so far for wound healing, but most of them are ineffective in properly reestablishing the skin's structure, which increases infection risks and dehydration. Electrospun membranes are particularly interesting for wound dressing applications because they mimic the extracellular matrix of healthy skin. In this study, a potential wound healing platform capable of inducing synergistic antibacterial and antioxidation activities was developed by incorporating bio-active rosmarinic acid-hydroxyapatite hybrid (HAP-RA) with different contents (0.

The consecutive viral infectious outbreaks impose severe complications on public health besides the economic burden which led to great interest in antiviral personal protective equipment (PPE). Nanofiber-based respiratory mask has been introduced as a significant barrier to eliminate the airborne transmission from aerosols toward reduction the viral infection spreading. Herein, selenium nanoparticles incorporated in polyamide 6 nanofibers coated on spunbond nonwoven were synthesized via electrospinning technique (PA6@SeNPs), with an average diameter of 180 ± 2 nm.
