Chitosan/PEO nanofibers electrospun on metallized track-etched membranes: fabrication and characterization

The development of next-generation adsorption, separation, and filtration materials is growing with an increased research focus on polymer composites. In this study, a novel blend of chitosan (CS) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) nanofiber mats was electrospun on titanium (Ti)-coated polyethylene terephthalate (PET) track-etched membranes (TMs) with after-treatment by glutaraldehyde in the vapor phase for enhancing the nanofiber stability by...
