Optimization of electrospinning parameters for producing silk fibroin/poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers using D-optimal method

, ORCID Icon, &
 

ABSTRACT

Despite the ease of the electrospinning process of synthetic polymers, the adjustment of several independent variables for natural ones is a complex procedure. In this work, the electrospinning parameters of silk fibroin (SF)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends including tip-to-collector distance (X1), applied voltage (X2), flow rate (X3) and SF/PEO ratio (X4) were optimized using the D-optimal method. By considering the response surface plots and interaction graphs as well as observing the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images, the optimized conditions were set as follows: X1 = 15 cm, X2 = 12 kV, X3 = 1.2 mL/h and X4 = 4. Accordingly, the electrospun SF/PEO nanofibrous sample with uniform morphology and an average diameter of 182 ± 55 nm was obtained.

摘要

尽管合成聚合物电纺丝过程比较容易,但自然聚合物的几个独立变量的调整是一个复杂的过程。在这项工作中,静电纺丝参数对丝素蛋白(SF)/聚氧化乙烯(PEO)共混物包括尖到集电极的距离(X1),电压(X2)、流量(X3)和SF / PEO率(X4)使用最优方法的优化。结合响应面图和交互图以及观察的扫描电子显微镜(SEM)图像,优化条件为:X1 = 15厘米,X2 = 12 kV,X3 = 1.2毫升/小时,X4 = 4。因此,获得了均匀形貌平均直径为182~55 nm的静电纺纳米纤维样品。
