Abstract

In this study, Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized using the femtosecond laser ablation method. Polyacrylonitrile and collagen polymers were subsequently added to fabricate nanofibers via the electrospinning technique. FTIR spectra, SEM imaging, and tensile strength tests were conducted on the nanofibers. The composite nanofibers incorporating collagen and PAN with Ag and TiO2 nanoparticles exhibited high flexibility. The performance of the PAN/Collagen/Ag/TiO2 nanofibers suggests potential applications in artificial tissue engineering.
