| Abstract: |
| Eucalyptus essential oil (EEO) usage is common among people for the different purpose with the short coming of fast releases. The aim of the present work is to present a method to extend the time of a release of EEO that is used in polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofiber mats for breathing mask application. The solution for electrospinning was contained an amine-terminated dendritic polymer (ATDP), PAN, and dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. The samples were examined by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), contact angle measurement, and an Electronic-nose (E-nose). The average diameter of electro spun fiber without and with EEO and also with ATDP was 328±40, 586±70, and 828±85 nm, respectively. The contact angle for PAN electrospun fiber mat, PAN with EEO and PAN with EEO/ATDP was 112°±3°, 114°±5° and 0°, respectively. It seems that the nano fibrous structure may be useful for extended time of delivery of essential oil system in face masks application. |
