Comparative study of drug release from electrospun nanofibers loaded with clotrimazole via two different approaches using a fully automated sequential injection system.

The development of new drug delivery platforms including the use of nanotechnology has been found of great interest in recent years. Two different loading approaches of the model antimycotic drug clotrimazole into the nanofibrous polycaprolactone and polydioxanone structures including electrospinning of a drug-polymer blend and impregnation of nanofibers with drug have been tested. The final amount of clotrimazole in the nanofibrous materials was determined by HPLC analysis and Raman spectroscopy. The electrospinning of blend approach allowed the adsorption of clotrimazole in a quantity of up to 30 % using mixtures with polymer/clotrimazole ratios from 2:1 to 8:1 (w/w). Ethanolic clotrimazole solutions with concentrations from 2.5 to 3.5 mg L-1 were used for adsorbing clotrimazole in blank nanofibers for 1-3 h with final clotrimazole content ranging from 3.0 to 5.7 %. Furthermore, a comparative liberation study including comparison with commercially available creams was carried out in low pressure flow system. The results obtained confirmed well controlled release of clotrimazole from both types of nanofibers. Compared to commercial pharmaceutical formulations containing 1 % clotrimazole where first-order release kinetics was observed, nanofibrous materials provided linear controlled release (zero-order kinetics) in the tested 3 h period.

Advanced nanofibrous sorbents for the extraction of pollutants from river water and protein-containing matrices.

The extraction efficiencies of thirty types of fibers produced by meltblown, alternating current electrospinning, and meltblown-co-electrospinning technologies were tested as advanced sorbents for on-line solid-phase extraction in a high-performance liquid chromatography system have been tested and compared with a commercial C18 sorbent. The properties of each fiber, which were often depended on the production process, and their applicability were demonstrated with the extraction of the model analytes nitrophenols and chlorophenols from various matrices including river water and to purify complex matrix human serum and bovine serum albumin from macromolecular ballast. Polycaprolactone fibers outperformed other polymers and were selected for subsequent modifications including (i) incorporation of hybrid carbon nanoparticles, i.e., graphene, activated carbon, and carbon black into the polymer prior to fiber fabrication, and (ii) surface modification by dip coating with polyhydroxy modifiers including graphene oxide, tannin, dopamine, hesperidin, and heparin. These novel fibrous sorbents were comparable to commercial C18 sorbent and provided excellent analyte recoveries of 70-112% even from the protein-containing matrices.

Large-Scale Development of Antibacterial Scaffolds: Gentamicin Sulfate-Loaded Biodegradable Nanofibers for Gastrointestinal Applications.

The ever-increasing demands of modern medicine drive the development of novel drug delivery materials. In particular, nanofibers are promising for such materials due to their favorable properties. However, most development is still carried out through laboratory techniques that do not allow extensive and reproducible characterization of materials, which slows medical research. In this work, we focus on the large-scale fabrication and testing of specific antibacterial nanofibrous materials to prevent the postoperative complications associated with the occurrence of bacterial infection. Poly-ε-caprolactone with gentamicin sulfate (antibiotic) in different concentrations was electrospun via a needleless device. The amount of antibiotics was proven by elemental analysis, UV spectrophotometry, and HPLC. The cytocompatibility of the materials was verified in vitro according to ISO 10993-5. The cell adhesion and proliferation were assessed after 2, 7, 14, and 21 days using the CCK-8 metabolic assay, fluorescence, and scanning electron microscopy. The tested nanofiber materials supported cell growth. Antibacterial tests were performed to confirm the release of gentamicin sulfate, and its antibacterial properties were proven toward Staphylococcus gallinarum and Escherichia coli bacteria. The effect of ethylene oxide sterilization was also studied. The sterilized nanofibrous layers are cytocompatible while antibacterial and therefore suitable for medical applications.

Antiadhesive Nanofibrous Materials for Medicine: Preventing Undesirable Tissue Adhesions.

Undesirable postoperative tissue adhesions remain among the most common complications after surgery. Apart from pharmacological antiadhesive agents, various physical barriers have been developed in order to prevent postoperative tissue adhesions. Nevertheless, many introduced materials suffer from shortcomings during in vivo application. Thus, there is an increasing need to develop a novel barrier material. However, various challenging criteria have to be met, so this issue pushes the research in materials to its current limits. Nanofibers play a major role in breaking the wall of this issue. Due to their properties, such as a large surface area for functionalization, tunable degradation rate, or the possibility of layering individual nanofibrous materials, it is feasible to create an antiadhesive surface while maintaining biocompatibility. There are many ways to produce nanofibrous material; electrospinning is the most used and versatile technique. This review reveals the different approaches and puts them into context.

Small nanofibrous disks for preconcentration of environmental contaminants followed by direct in-vial elution and chromatographic determination.

A novel method for the extraction of river water contaminants as model analytes of ranging polarities, including bisphenols A, C, S, Z, fenoxycarb, kadethrin, and deltamethrin, using small compact fibrous disks has been developed and validated. Polymer nanofibers and microfibers prepared from poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), polypropylene, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, poly(lactic acid), and polycaprolactone doped with graphene were evaluated in terms of extraction efficiency, selectivity, and stability in organic solutions. Our novel extraction procedure comprised preconcentration of analytes from 150 mL river water to 1 mL of eluent using a compact nanofibrous disk freely vortexed in the sample. Small nanofibrous disks with a diameter of 10 mm were cut from a compact and mechanically stable 1-2 mm thick micro/nanofibrous sheet. After 60 min extraction in a magnetically stirred sample located in a beaker, the disk was removed from the liquid and washed with water. Then, the disk was inserted into a 1.5 mL HPLC vial and extracted with 1.0 ml methanol upon short intensive shaking. Our approach avoided the undesired problems related to the manual handling typical of "classical" SPE procedure since the extraction was carried out directly in the HPLC vial. No sample evaporation, reconstitution, or pipetting was required. The nanofibrous disk is affordable, needs no support or holder, and its use avoids creation of plastic waste originating from disposable materials. Recovery of compounds from the disks was 47.2-141.4% depending on the type of polymer used and the relative standard deviations calculated from 5 extractions ranged from 6.1 to 11.8% for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), 6.3-14.8% for polyurethane, and 1.7-16.2% for polycaprolactone doped with graphene. A small enrichment factor was obtained for polar bisphenol S using all sorbents. A higher preconcentration reaching up to 40-fold was achieved for lipophilic compounds such as deltamethrin when using poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) and graphene-doped polycaprolactone.

Comparing adsorption performance of microfibers and nanofibers with commercial molecularly imprinted polymers and restricted access media for extraction of bisphenols from milk coupled with liquid chromatography.

Advanced solid phase extraction (SPE) fibrous sorbents including polyethylene, polypropylene poly (hydroxybutyrate), and polyamide 6 nanofibers, polycaprolactone microfibers/nanofibers, polycaprolactone microfibers/polyvinylidene difluoride nanofibers, and poly (hydroxybutyrate) microfibers/polypropylene microfibers composites, as well as commercial molecularly imprinted polymers and restricted access media sorbent were compared in terms of bisphenols extraction from milk and their clean-up efficiency. Three on-line SPE-HPLC methods were completely validated for the extraction and detection of bisphenols A, AF, C, A diglycidyl ether, and F diglycidyl ether in bovine milk. Polycaprolactone composite nanofibers compared favorably to restricted access media, enabled excellent clean-up of bisphenols from the proteinaceous matrix, and yielded recoveries 98.0-124.5% and 93.0-115.0%, respectively, with RSD less than 10%. Total analysis time including on-line SPE step lasted only 12 min, which represents a significant reduction in time compared with previously reported as well as official European Union and AOAC methods defined for the determination of bisphenols in various matrices.

The Injection Molding of Biodegradable Polydioxanone-A Study of the Dependence of the Structural and Mechanical Properties on Thermal Processing Conditions.

Recent years have observed a significant increase in the use of degradable materials in medicine due to their minimal impact on the patient and broad range of applicability. The biodegradable polymer Polydioxanone (PDO) provides a good example of the use of such one polymer that can represent the aforementioned medical materials in the field of medicine, due to its high level of biocompatibility and interesting mechanical properties. PDO is used to produce absorbable medical devices such as sutures and stents, and is also suitable for the fabrication of certain orthopedic implants. Polydioxanone can be processed using the injection molding method due to its thermoplastic nature; this method allows for the precise and easily-controllable production of medical materials without the need for toxic additives. A number of small commercial polymer implants have recently been introduced onto the market based on this processing method. It is important to note that, to date, no relevant information on the molding of PDO is available either for the scientific or the general public, and no study has been published that describes the potential of the injection molding of PDO. Hence, we present our research on the basic technological and material parameters that allow for the processing of PDO using the laboratory microinjection molding method. In addition to determining the basic parameters of the process, the research also focused on the study of the structural and mechanical properties of samples based on the thermal conditions during processing. A technological frame work was successfully determined for the processing of PDO via the microinjection molding approach that allows for the production of samples with the required homogeneity, shape stability and surface quality in a laboratory scale. The research revealed that PDO is a polymer with a major share of crystalline phases, and that it is sensitive to the annealing temperature profile in the mold, which has the potential to impact the final crystalline structure, the fracture morphology and the mechanical properties.

The Combination of Hydrogels with 3D Fibrous Scaffolds Based on Electrospinning and Meltblown Technology.

This study presents the advantages of combining three-dimensional biodegradable scaffolds with the injection bioprinting of hydrogels. This combination takes advantage of the synergic effect of the properties of the various components, namely the very favorable mechanical and structural properties of fiber scaffolds fabricated from polycaprolactone and the targeted injection of a hydrogel cell suspension with a high degree of hydrophilicity. These properties exert a very positive impact in terms of promoting inner cell proliferation and the ability to create compact tissue. The scaffolds were composed of a mixture of microfibers produced via meltblown technology that ensured both an optimal three-dimensional porous structure and sufficient mechanical properties, and electrospun nanofibers that allowed for good cell adhesion. The scaffolds were suitable for combination with injection bioprinting thanks to their mechanical properties, i.e., only one nanofibrous scaffold became deformed during the injection process. A computer numerical-control manipulator featuring a heated printhead that allowed for the exact dosing of the hydrogel cell suspension into the scaffolds was used for the injection bioprinting. The hyaluronan hydrogel created a favorable hydrophilic ambiance following the filling of the fiber structure. Preliminary in vitro testing proved the high potential of this combination with respect to the field of bone tissue engineering. The ideal structural and mechanical properties of the tested material allowed osteoblasts to proliferate into the inner structure of the sample. Further, the tests demonstrated the significant contribution of printed hydrogel-cell suspension to the cell proliferation rate. Thus, the study led to the identification of a suitable hydrogel for osteoblasts.

Nanofibrous Online Solid-Phase Extraction Coupled with Liquid Chromatography for the Determination of Neonicotinoid Pesticides in River Waters.

Polymeric nano- and microfibers were tested as potential sorbents for the extraction of five neonicotinoids from natural waters. Nanofibrous mats were prepared from polycaprolactone, polyvinylidene fluoride, polystyrene, polyamide 6, polyacrylonitrile, and polyimide, as well as microfibers of polyethylene, a polycaprolactone nano- and microfiber conjugate, and polycaprolactone microfibers combined with polyvinylidene fluoride nanofibers. Polyimide nanofibers were selected as the most suitable sorbent for these analytes and the matrix. A Lab-In-Syringe system enabled automated preconcentration via online SPE of large sample volumes at low pressure with analyte separation by HPLC. Several mat layers were housed in a solvent filter holder integrated into the injection loop of an HPLC system. After loading 2 mL sample on the sorbent, the mobile phase eluted the retained analytes onto the chromatographic column. Extraction efficiencies of 68.8-83.4% were achieved. Large preconcentration factors ranging from 70 to 82 allowed reaching LOD and LOQ values of 0.4 to 1.7 and 1.2 to 5.5 µg·L-1, respectively. Analyte recoveries from spiked river waters ranged from 53.8% to 113.3% at the 5 µg·L-1 level and from 62.8% to 119.8% at the 20 µg·L-1 level. The developed methodology proved suitable for the determination of thiamethoxam, clothianidin, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid, whereas matrix peak overlapping inhibited quantification of acetamiprid.

Polycaprolactone Composite Micro/Nanofibrous Material as an Alternative to Restricted Access Media for Direct Extraction and Separation of Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs from Human Serum Using Column-Switching Chromatography.

Application of the poly-ɛ-caprolactone composite sorbent consisting of the micro- and nanometer fibers for the on-line extraction of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs from a biological matrix has been introduced. A 100 µL human serum sample spiked with ketoprofen, naproxen, sodium diclofenac, and indomethacin was directly injected in the extraction cartridge filled with the poly-ɛ-caprolactone composite sorbent. This cartridge was coupled with a chromatographic instrument via a six-port switching valve allowing the analyte extraction and separation within a single analytical run. The 1.5 min long extraction step isolated the analytes from the proteinaceous matrix was followed by their 13 min HPLC separation using Ascentis Express RP-Amide (100 × 4.6 mm, 5 µm) column. The recovery of all analytes from human serum tested at three concentration levels ranged from 70.1% to 118.7%. The matrix calibrations were carried out in the range 50 to 20,000 ng mL-1 with correlation coefficients exceeding 0.996. The detection limit was 15 ng mL-1, and the limit of quantification corresponded to 50 ng mL-1. The developed method was validated and successfully applied for the sodium diclofenac determination in real patient serum. Our study confirmed the ability of the poly-ɛ-caprolactone composite sorbent to remove the proteins from the biological matrix, thus serving as an alternative to the application of restricted-access media.

The Optimization of Alternating Current Electrospun PA 6 Solutions Using a Visual Analysis System.

The electrospinning process that produces fine nanofibrous materials have a major disadvantage in the area of productivity. However, alternating current (AC) electrospinning might help to solve the problem via the modification of high voltage signal. The aforementioned productivity aspect can be observed via a camera system that focuses on the jet creation area and that measures the average lifespan. The paper describes the optimization of polyamide 6 (PA 6) solutions and demonstrates the change in the behavior of the process following the addition of a minor dose of oxoacid. This addition served to convert the previously unspinnable (using AC) solution to a high-quality electrospinning solution. The visual analysis of the AC electrospinning of polymeric solutions using a high-speed camera and a programmable power source was chosen as the method for the evaluation of the quality of the process. The solutions were exposed to high voltage applying two types of AC signal, i.e., the sine wave and the step change. All the recordings presented in the paper contained two sets of data: firstly, camera recordings that showed the visual expression of electrospinning and, secondly, signal recordings that provided information on the data position in the signal function.

The role of pKa, log P of analytes, and protein matrix in solid-phase extraction using native and coated nanofibrous and microfibrous polymers prepared via meltblowing and combined meltblowing/electrospinning technologies.

Effect of physicochemical properties including dissociation constant (pKa) and partition coefficient (log P) of the compounds on their extraction efficiency in sample preparation using fibrous polymer sorbents has been demonstrated. Poly-ε-caprolactone as meltblown/electrospun composite fibers, and polypropylene, polyethylene, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate), poly(lactic acid), and polyamide 6 in the meltblown fiber format were used as sorbents in solid-phase extraction. In addition, the polycaprolactone fibers were coated with dopamine, dopamine combined with heparin, and tannin, respectively, to modify their extraction properties. These fibers that were not yet used for extractions and the unique combination of sorbents and analytes significantly extends the scope of nanofibrous extraction. The extraction efficiency was determined using model pharmaceuticals including acetylsalicylic acid, moxonidine, metoprolol, propranolol, propafenone, diltiazem, atorvastatin, and amiodarone. These model compounds displayed the widest differences in both pKa and log P values. The extraction efficiency of some of the fibers reached 96.64%. Coating of polycaprolactone fibers with dopamine significantly improved extraction efficiency of slightly retained metoprolol while moxonidine was not retained on any sorbent. The fibrous sorbents were also tested for extraction of pharmaceuticals in bovine serum albumin and human serum, respectively, to demonstrate their capability to extract them from a complex protein-containing matrix. The clean-up efficiency of our fibers was compared with that of a commercial restricted access media (RAM) C-18 alkyl-diol silica column. Our technique is in accordance with the requirements of modern sample preparation techniques.

A PVDF electrospun antifibrotic composite for use as a glaucoma drainage implant.

Glaucoma disease therapy frequently involves the application of a glaucoma implant. This approach is effective in terms of reducing the intraocular pressure via the filtering of intraocular fluid from the anterior chamber into the drainage pathways. The basic properties of such implants comprise of long-term stability and the filtering of fluids without the occurrence of undesirable blockages. This study describes the design and production of a novel material for the treatment of glaucoma disease that is based on electrospinning technology. Non-toxic, biocompatible and non-degradable polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) was selected as the implant material. The research investigated the resistance of this material to the growth of a fibroblast cell line without the use of antifibrotic agents such as mitomycin C. Three different types of PVDF were electrospun separately and mixed with polyethyleneoxide (PEO), following which the degree of cell growth resistance was evaluated. It was discovered that the fiber layers that contained PVDF blended with PEO evinced a statistically significant difference in metabolic activity compared to the PURE PVDF layers. Only small cell clusters formed on the layers that were resistant to cell fibrotization. As a result of the observed clustering, a new program was developed in MATLAB software for the determination of the number of cells involved in cluster formation, which then allowed for the determination of the spatial dependence between the cells in the form of a point pattern. The study describes a simple technique for the production of composite PVDF+PEO structures suitable for use in the field of glaucoma treatment.

Stenting to prevent esophageal stricture after circumferential endoscopic submucosal dissection: an experimental study.

Background and study aims Circular ESD (CESD) is a treatment option for patients with extensive early esophageal cancer. Its major drawback is the development of a stricture. Stenting may represent an attractive prevention strategy. We designed an experimental study to assess the effect of stents covered with acellular biomatrix (AB) and a drug-eluting stent. Materials and methods Thirty-five 35 pigs underwent CESD and were randomized into six groups: G1 (control), G2 (SEMS), G3 (SEMS + AB), G4 (SEMS + AB + steroid-eluting layer), G5 (biodegradable stent [BD]), G6 (BD + AB). SEMS were placed alongside the post-CESD defect, fixed and removed after 21 days. The main outcomes were stricture development, severity, and histopathology. Results Pigs with BD stents (G5, 6) experienced severe inflammation and hypergranulation without biodegradation, therefore, these groups were closed prematurely. Significant strictures developed in 29 of 30 pigs (96.7 %). The most severe stricture developed in G2 and G4 (narrowest diameter (mm) 8.5 ±â€Š3, 3 (G2) and 8.6 ±â€Š2.1 (G4) vs. 17 ±â€Š7.3 (G1) and 13.5 ±â€Š8.3 (G3); P  < 0.01. Signs of re-epithelization were present in 67 % and 71 % in G1 and G2 and in 100 % in G3 and G4. The most robust re-epithelization layer was present in G4. The inflammation was the most severe in G1 (mean score 2.3) and least severe in G4 (0.4). Conclusions Stenting did not effectively prevent development of post-CESD esophageal stricture. SEMS with AB resulted in improved re-epithelization and decreased stricture severity. Steroid-eluting SEMS suppressed inflammation. BD stents seem inappropriate for this indication.

On-line polydopamine coating as a new way to functionalize polypropylene fiber sorbent for solid phase extraction.

Effective process, including a cartridge packing polypropylene fiber sorbent modified by following on-line polydopamine coating, for on-line solid phase extraction in 2D UHPLC system has been developed. Hydrophobic surface of mechanically stable polypropylene fibers was hydrophilized using an automated and reproducible in situ coating process to enable good wettability and effective extraction of polar compounds. Polymerization mixture consisting dopamine and TRIS buffer was circulated through the cartridge containing polypropylene fibers using a peristaltic pump to achieve polymerization. This process was optimized in terms of dopamine amount in the polymerization mixture, its flow rate, and polymerization time. Best results were obtained with 25 mL polymerization mixture containing 20 mg dopamine circulated through the cartridge at a flow rate of 2.07 mL min-1 for 60 min. Prepared cartridges were evaluated via measurement of the recovery and reproducibility using chlorogenic acid as a model compound. Overall reproducibility of our multistep process including eight cartridges in 2D UHPLC system, each measured in triplicate, was 3.61% (n = 24).

Poly-ε-caprolactone Nanofibrous Polymers: A Simple Alternative to Restricted Access Media for Extraction of Small Molecules from Biological Matrixes.

Poly-ε-caprolactone nanofibrous polymer has been used as an alternative to restricted access media for extraction of protein-containing biological samples and direct transfer in the chromatographic system. Three commercial cartridges differing in length and internal diameter have been manually packed with the composite material prepared from poly-ε-caprolactone nanofibers coated on poly-ε-caprolactone microfibrous scaffold and connected to the column-switching chromatographic system. Bovine milk and human serum (25 µL) spiked with a mixture of methyl-, ethyl-, propyl-, and butylparaben in a concentration range of 1-100 µg mL-1 were online extracted using the cartridge-containing fibers. Then, 5 and 20% (v/v) aqueous methanol was applied as the washing mobile phase. While the ballast protein macromolecules were quantitatively eluted from the nano/microfibrous composite sorbent, the parabens were retained. After the mobile phase was switched to a stronger one, these compounds were then eluted from the extraction sorbent, directed in the analytical column, and finally separated. An extraction efficiency of 86-101% for all parabens achieved using the optimum-sized cartridge and a repeatability of the extraction procedure of 0.06-1.95% RSD were obtained.

Impact of Various Sterilization and Disinfection Techniques on Electrospun Poly-ε-caprolactone.

Electrospun materials made from biodegradable polycaprolactone are used widely in various tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications because of their morphological similarity to the extracellular matrix. However, the main prerequisite for the use of such materials in clinical practice consists of the selection of the appropriate sterilization technique. This study is devoted to the study of the impact of traditional sterilization and disinfection methods on a nanofibrous polycaprolactone layer constructed by means of the needleless electrospinning technique. It was determined that hydrogen peroxide plasma treatment led to the loss of fibrous morphology and the creation of a foil. However, certain sterilization (ethylene oxide, gamma irradiation, and peracetic acid) and disinfection techniques (ethanol and UV irradiation) were found not to lead to a change in morphology; thus, the study investigates their impact on thermal properties, molecular weight, and interactions with a fibroblast cell line. It was determined that the surface properties that guide cell adhesion and proliferation were affected more than the bulk properties. The highest proliferation rate of fibroblasts seeded on nanofibrous scaffolds was observed with respect to gamma-irradiated polycaprolactone, while the lowest proliferation rate was observed following ethylene oxide sterilization.

ac Bubble Electrospinning Technology for Preparation of Nanofibrous Mats.

This study deals with a new combination of alternating current (ac) electrospinning and bubble electrospinning. Research devoted to the combination of these two methods for the preparation of nanofibrous and microfibrous mats has been carried out. The design, construction, and description of bubble electrospinning are described in this article. The final morphologies of the fibrous layers produced by these methods have been compared with other well-known electrospinning methods. The bubble electrospinning and ac electrospinning aspire to become new technologies that could be utilized in various technical areas and tissue-engineering applications.

3D-Printed Magnetic Stirring Cages for Semidispersive Extraction of Bisphenols from Water Using Polymer Micro- and Nanofibers.

A magnetic stirring device allowing semidispersive solid phase extraction of eight bisphenols (A, AF, AP, C, BP, G, M, and Z) from river waters using polymer nano- and microfibers followed by HPLC with spectrophotometric detection has been developed and applied. About 50 mg of fibers was placed in a round, cage-like housing consisting of two identical 3D printed pieces that were locked together by a magnetic stirring bar. Magnetic stirring action of the cage devices enabled highly efficient interaction of the fibers housed inside with the aqueous samples and analyte transfer without risking fiber compaction and/or damaging. Polypropylene was found to be the best-suited filament material for the cage 3D printing, and polycaprolactone fibers appeared the most efficient sorbent out of eight tested polymers. Experimental design revealed that analytes extraction from 100 mL aqueous samples was completed within 50 min and stripping in methanol required less than 35 min. Cage housing enabled simple and robust handling of the fibrous sorbent that could be used repeatedly up to at least 5 times. Procedural repeatability was less than 5% RSD, and limits of detection and quantitation were 0.1-2.1 and 0.4-7.0 µg L-1, respectively. Analyte recoveries at 50 µg L-1 level ranged from 87.1% to 106.5% in the analysis of two spiked river and two lake waters.

Novel nanofibrous sorbents for the extraction and determination of resveratrol in wine.

On-line SPE HPLC method using nanofibrous sorbents for the extraction and determination of resveratrol in wine was developed and validated. Different types of nanofibrous and microfibrous polymers were tested and compared with commercial monolithic C18 sorbent. Polyamide and polyacrylonitrile nanofibers and composite materials composed of respective polycaprolactone and poly(vinylidene difluoride) nanofibers at microfibrous scaffold were included among tested materials. Two different polycaprolactone-based materials were prepared and their effect on the extraction properties studied. Alternatively, dopamine-coated polycaprolactone fibers were also used. Poly(vinylidene difluoride) nanofibers/polycaprolactone microfibers composite was found as the most effective sorbent and utilized for the method validation. Resveratrol in red wine was determined using our validated on-line SPE HPLC method.
