Abstract The aim of the work was to obtain nano fibrous structures from biodegradable polymer with the addition of hydroxyapatite using electrospinning technique. Research was conducted with two types of solvent: dichloromethane and 50:50 mixture of dimethyl sulfoxide and dichloromethane. As a polymer a copolymer of L-lactide and glycolide (PLGA), commercial product with trade name Resomer®LG 824, was used. The preliminary electrospinning tests enabled to match optimal polymer solution concentration of tested samples. Rheological properties of all tested polymer solutions has been determined. Influence of electrospinning conditions and the type of solvent on macroscopic structure has been investigated.

Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) was used to fabricate micro- and nano-fibrous, non-woven mats by electrospinning for potential tissue engineering applications. The morphology and size of electrospun fibers were assessed systematically by varying the processing parameters. It was found that the diameter of the fibers produced generally increased with electrospinning voltage, needle diameter for the polymer jet and polymer solution concentration. Beaded fibers were readily produced at low PHBV concentrations, whereas the needle was blocked within a very short time during electrospinning when the PHBV concentration was too high. At the polymer concentration of 7.5 % w/v, it was shown that beadless PHBV fibers could be generated continuously by adjusting the electrospinning parameters to appropriate values. This study has clearly demonstrated that electrospinning can be an effective technique to produce PHBV micro- and nano-fibers. It has also been shown that composite fibers containing hydroxyapatite (HA) can be produced using the electrospinning technique.

Electrospinning Technique

Drug loaded polyurethane (PU) thin layer was prepared on the silicone tube by electrospinning technique. Microstructure of the PU layer was varied from nanoporous web to dense coating depending on the polymer solution concentration and the amount of drug loaded. It can be easily adjusted the coating thickness and porosity accurately and controlled the drug loading and releasing properties. However, adhesive strength between PU layer and silicone tube was very weak and easily broken away and white turbidity also another important problem. So, surface of silicone tube was atmospheric-pressure plasma (APP) treated for improving the adhesive and removing white turbidity phenomenon.

Polymer Retention

During polymer flooding, certain amount of polymer would be lost. Polymer retention causes sweep volume expanding on one side, it also causes polymer loss on the other. Therefore, it is a very important topic to study the influencing factors of polymer retention. There are many factors affecting polymer retention process. This paper mainly studied the influence from dynamic factors such as polymer solution concentration, injection rate, injection time, injected pv number. This paper investigated the influence of these factors on polymer retention process, and optimized these factors to minimize polymer loss in reservoir.

Background: Electrospinning is a technique for producing nanofibers, useful in many fields of nanotechnology. The size and morphology of the nanofibers obtained depends on the polymer solution properties, the parameters of the equipment and the conditions of the surrounding. In almost all reported electrospinning set ups, a pump ,which regulates the flow of the polymer solution, has been included as one of the requirements. In this study, the effects of solution concentration, viscosity, voltage and the distance from the tip of the syringe to the aluminum collector on the morphology and diameters of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA) fibers were investigated, using a pump-free electrospinning set up. Methods: Varied PMMA concentration (50 -120 mg/mL), voltage (10-18 kV) and distance (5 – 18 cm) of electrospinning were studied and the optimum electrospinning conditions identified.  PMMA/ titanium isopropoxide solution of ratio 1:2 was prepared, electrospun at optimized conditions (15 kV, 18 cm, Dichloromethane/Dimethylformamide 60:40) and the fibers obtained analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. Results: Solutions of PMMA whose concentrations were less than 50 mg/mL, produced beads on fibers, whereas those at ~ 100 mg/mL formed the best bead-free fibers of diameter 350±50 nm. The results showed a direct dependence of fiber diameter on the solution viscosity. Fibers of larger diameters were obtained when the distance from the tip of the syringe to the aluminum collector and voltage were increased but at higher distances (>18 kV) fewer fibers were collected. When the voltage was steadily increased, the fibers broadened and the diameters were non-uniform due to splaying and splitting. Increasing the distance between the pipette-tip and the collector from 10 to 18 cm resulted in reduced electric field which in turn yielded fewer fibers. Conclusions: The results obtained in a pump free set-up were comparable to those eletrospun in the presence of a pump.
