PEG at Electrospin 2019

PEG at Electrospin 2019

From the 19th to the 21st of June the Donghua University of Shanghai hosted Electrospin 2019, the 6th International conference on electrospinning.

Electrospin 2019 follows previous Conference in Series which took place in Melbourne (2010), Jejiu (2012), San Francisico (2014), Otranto (2016), Stellenbosch (2018). This Biennial event has become the premiere venue for the presentation and discussion of most recent scientific and technological advances in the areas of electrospinning, nanofibers and related applications.

Our research group presented three contributions as part of our latest research activities in the field:

  • Nanostructured biosynthetic mesh for incisional hernia repair: the synergy of chitosan nanofibers and polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) based nanoparticles“: a work based on the research and development of a biosynthetic mesh based on electrospun polymers, designed to provide support for cell growth and a synergic wound healing effect
  • Nanostructured membranes for toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) degradation“: a work on the  production, characterization andthe performance of nanostructured membranes obtained by coupling electrostatic-dynamic technologies (i.e. electrospinning, electrospraying and/or electrospinnig) in the abatement of TICs
  • Preparation and characterization of super-absorbent and hydrophobic membranes for textile ergonomics in alpine environment“: a work based on the development of innovative waterproof breathable membranes based on super-absorbent and super-hydrophobic layers of different electrospun materials.
