Abstract
An electrospun nanofibrous layer may include an exemplary polymer scaffold made of at least one of nylon, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and acrylic, an amine-terminated dendritic polymer that may be attached to and distributed within the exemplary polymer scaffold. An exemplary amine-terminated dendritic polymer may include at least one of polyamidoamine, polypropylene imine, and polyethylene imine. An electrospun nanofibrous layer may further include an exemplary volatile aromatic compound that may be encapsulated within the amine-terminated dendritic polymer.
Claims5
A method for fabricating a nanofibrous fabric layer, the method comprising:
- preparing a first polymer solution by dissolving a base polymer in a first solvent, the base polymer comprising one of nylon, chitosan, and combinations thereof, the first solvent comprising one of formic acid, dimethyl formamide, acetic acid, dimethyl formamide, and mixtures thereof;
- adding a surfactant to the polymer solution;
- preparing a second polymer solution by dissolving an amine-terminated dendritic polymer and a volatile aromatic compound in a second solvent, the second solvent comprising one of methanol, ethanol, water, dimethyl formamide, and mixtures thereof, wherein the volatile aromatic compound includes an essential oil;
- preparing a spinning solution by dispersing the second polymer solution into the first polymer solution;
- and
- electrospinning the spinning solution to obtain the nanofibrous layer.
