Conductive Nonwoven Carbon Nanotube-PLA Composite Nanofibers Towards Wound Sensors via Solution Blow Spinning
Abstract:
This paper characterizes the use of the emerging solution blow spinning technique to create conductive carbon nanotube-PLA composite nanofibers. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) were combined in various solvents to produce conductive fiber mats. In addition, the authors were able to tune the conductivity of the fiber mats by modifying the MWCNT concentration. Conductive fiber mats were able to reach conductivity values as high as 474 S/cm which is more than 2 × higher than the ubiquitous germanium. Conductive fiber mats will be later used as sensors in wound healing applications. A simple light emitting diode circuit featuring the fiber mat was developed as a proof of concept toward this biomedical sensing application.

Classifying Matter by Composition
According to its composition, the matter can be classified into two broad categories — pure substances and mixtures.
A pure substance is a form of matter that has a constant composition throughout with uniform properties. For example, any sample of sucrose has the same composition and same physical properties, such as melting point, color, and sweetness, regardless of the source from which it is isolated.
A mixture is composed of two or...
