Fabrication of C60 Tri-Diethyl Malonate Membrane via an Electrospinning Method and Its Antibacterial Property

A homogeneous C60 tri-diethyl malonate membrane was fabricated by a facile electro-spinning method. Comprehensive characterizations of its assembling structure, such as SEM, TEM, TGA, UV-vis, and FTIR, were carried out. Different fullerene derivatives show different assembling characters during the electrospining process. Notably, C60 tri-diethyl malonate with close-knite structures can form a stable structure after removing the assistant polymer of PVP. The antibacterial experiments of C60 tri-diethyl malonate membrane were performed, and the results revealed that this membrane owns excellent antibacterial activity.
