The majority of the world's PET is used for fiber production (over 60%) and food packaging (30%), making it a major pollutant. This study aims to create and analyze nanostructured membranes made from recycled PET and Fe3O4@UA nanoparticles using electrospinning. The resulting fibers inhibit microbial colonization and biofilm formation, offering potential applications in food packaging and antimicrobial textiles.
The highest amount of the world's polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is designated for fiber production (more than 60%) and food packaging (30%) and it is one of the major polluting polymers. Although there is a great interest in recycling PET-based materials, a large amount of unrecycled material is derived mostly from the food and textile industries. The aim of this study was to obtain and characterize nanostructured membranes with fibrillar consistency based on recycled PET and nanoparticles (Fe3O4@UA) using the electrospinning technique. The obtained fibers limit microbial colonization and the development of biofilms. Such fibers could significantly impact modern food packaging and the design of improved textile fibers with antimicrobial effects and good biocompatibility. In conclusion, this study suggests an alternative for PET recycling and further applies it in the development of antimicrobial biomaterials.
