The present review discusses the use of cyclodextrins and their derivatives to prepare
electrospun nanofibers with specific features. Cyclodextrins, owing to their unique capability …

Background For decades, the use of nonrenewable plastic food packaging has posed a
serious risk to the environment and its ecosystem. To address the issue, research has …

In this work, a novel electrospun β-cyclodextrin (β-CD)/chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
nanofiber membrane was prepared to simultaneously and rapidly remove organic and …

Chitosan and pectin are abundantly found biopolymers in nature that are derived from
renewable resources. On the other hand, the chemical structure of these biopolymers …

Ineffective delivery of pesticides leads to multiple application cycles of active ingredients
(AIs), resulting in increased cost while endangering the environment via soil, water, and air …

Cyclodextrins (CDs) can endow electrospun fibers with outstanding performance
characteristics that rely on their ability to form inclusion complexes. The inclusion complexes …

Novel photosensitizing film based on the natural hybrid polymer Chitosan/2-hydroxy-propyl-
β-Cyclodextrin (CH/CD) is synthesized introducing Chlorophyll a (CH/CD/Chla) as a …

The fabrication of nanofibers by electrospinning has gained popularity in the past two
decades; however, only in this decade, have polymeric nanofibers been functionalized …

Fibers produced by electrospinning from biocompatible, biodegradable and naturally
occurring polymers have potential advantages in drug delivery and biomedical applications …

Chitosan composite fibrous materials continue to generate significant interest for wastewater
treatment, food packaging, and biomedical applications. This relates to the relatively high …
