Nylon is the first commercialized synthetic fiber, which is used throughout the world such as wearing apparel, brush bristles, and carpet. Nylon has been widely used as an important engineering plastic and synthetic fiber because of its good mechanical properties. And Chitosan is the deacetylated derivative of chitin and has non-toxic, biodegradable, antibacterial and biocompatible properties. In this study, the antibacterial nanofibrous scaffolds were achieved by electrospinning of the blend of Nylon6 and chitosan using formic acid. The morphologies of nylon, chitosan, and their blended fibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). As the results, the average diameter of Nylon6/chitosan nanofibers was in the range of 300 ~ 500 nm. The antibacterial activities of nanofibrous mats were confirmed by using the static vial method on Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. |
