Functionalized polymer nanofibers by electrospinning

Electrospinning is a useful method to prepare non-woven fabrics of sub-micron or nano-scale fibers, which have high porosity, large surface area-to-volume ratio, small pore size between depositing fibers of the electrospun mats, and vast possibility for surface functionalization. These characteristics make the non-woven fabrics attractive for many applications, such as functional separation membranes, photocatalysts,biosensors, and nanoelectronics.On the other hand, porphyrins play important roles in biological processes and porphyrinated polymers have found increasing applications in many areas such as molecular recognition or molecular imprinting, sensors, light-emitting and energy/electron transfer materials, interactions with biological systems, and enzyme mimics for catalysis.Combining the merits of electrospinning with the bioinspired applications ofporphyrin polymers may generate functionalized nanofibers for multiple purposes.
