Examination Of Miscibility Characteristics Of The Synthetic Plastic-Mimetic Peptide With Polyacrylamide: Development Of Nonwoven Mats By Electrospinning

The polypeptide, poly(AVGVP), a prominent member of the synthetic polypeptides (PLP), exhibiting plastic properties for biomedical applications. Their miscibility characteristics with polyacrylamide (PAM) were scrutinized in different weight proportions manipulating viscometry in the aqueous phase. The interaction parameters confirmed that the two polymers are miscible up to 20/80 weight portion of PLP/PAM. Further, the outcomes were supported by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), XRD, and SEM individually. Moreover, blends resulted in nanofibers (75 +/- 25 nm) at 26 kV by the electrospinning method, and they may be the potential alternatives for prospective biomedical applications.
