Nanoparticles are a promising alternative for improving the properties of the electrospun membranes. Titania nanoparticles, which are stable, resistant, and non-toxic, have various applications including water treatment, sensors, food additive and cosmetics. Due to the high hydrophilicity of titania nanoparticles, membrane fouling is reduced in titania nanoparticles doped membranes. Titania nanoparticle doped polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanocomposite electrospun membranes were prepared by electrospinning method in this work. Compared to bare PAN electrospun membranes 0.05% titania nanoparticles doped electrospun membranes have thinner nanofibers, higher hydrophilicity and almost 2 times lower bovine serum albumin adsorption, which shows lower fouling tendency.}, type={Article}, title={Titania Nanoparticles Doped Electrospun Membranes}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/130958/PDF/AMM-2024-1-55-Madenli.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2024.149100}, keywords={electrospinning, titania nanoparticles, polyacrylonitrile, electrospun membranes, fouling}, }
