Fabrication of Multifunctional Nano Composite Fiber Extracted From Sambucus Nigra: Anti-Nociceptive, Anti-Inflammatory, Self-cleaning and UV-Blocking

Abstract

Abstract This paper introduces the extraction of Sambucus Nigra chemical compounds and fabrication of multifunctional nano fabric with/without nano zinc oxide particles made by electrospinning method. Field emission scanning electron microscope of the produced sample shows that the diameter of the produced fibers is about 35nm and elemental mapping analysis proved the excellent distribution of nano material on the surface of nano composite. Anti-nociceptive efficiency of samples were investigated and the results indicate that the existence methanol of Sambucus Nigra caused the prevention of pain and this effect illustrated anti-nociceptive consequence in specimens which were investigated through tail flick experiment. Moreover, anti-inflammatory property of samples was investigated which show good data results. On the other hand, self-cleaning of produced nano composite was studied. The results show that doping nano zinc oxide has direct effect on increasing the self-cleaning property. Also, ultraviolet transmission analysis of specimens indicates the produced nano composite has great UV blocking property.
