Antibacterial Cellulose Acetate Microfibers Containing Pyridine Derivative Complexes

Pyridine (L1) and 2,4-dimethylpyridine (L2) halide complexes of the type of [ML2X2] were prepared and characterized via FT-IR and 1H NMR. The CA microfibers containing complexes were electrospun and investigated via FT-IR. The morphologies of the microfibers were investigated via FE-SEM. Antibacterial activities of the complexes and the fibers were investigated.

Polypropylene Microfibers with a Filler in the Nanostate

The physico-chemical regularities of polypropylene microfibers obtained via processing polypropylene/copolyamide (PP/CPA) mixture melts filled with nanosilicas have been investigated. It has been shown that the chemical nature of silica functional groups affects the viscosity of PP/CPA melts. In spite of the solid state of additives the filling effect does not occur or reveals weakly. Silicas do not prevent the polypropylene fiber-forming in a copolyamide matrix but improve it. This is explained by the stabilizing action of silica additives on PP liquid streams.
