Preparation of Nano Zinc Oxide with Polycaprolactone and Evaluation of Electrospun Scaffold Composite
Abstract
The creation and development of medical polymer polycaprolactone (PCL) and zinc oxide nanofibers (ZnO NPs) and their catalytic activity against dangerous bacteria and germs are the most important electrospinning techniques in this work. 2% and 3% were applied in addition to the electrospinning process. Pure polymer divided by the weight of zinc oxide nanoparticles (PCL). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), AFM surface roughness, X-ray diffraction (XRD), material crystallization, FT-IR spectroscopy, and the nature of the interaction between nanoparticles (ZnO) and pure polymer were used to determine the fiber diameter. This reaction shows catalytic properties and mechanical stability through mechanical property testing. In addition to how viscosity increases with increasing concentration. High porosity is provided by water angle testing and good adhesion by these scaffolds. These concentrations can be used as an antibacterial and antibacterial agent.
