ABSTRACT The development of permanent superhydrophobic surfaces has attracted significant attention due to their usage in many applications, particularly environmental and biomedical remediations. Among the various fabrication techniques, electrospinning emerged as an advantageous flexible method for fabricating nanofibers with tailored surface characteristics. In this study, we explore enhancement properties by incorporating Teflon particles into matrices polystyrene (PS) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) through process. Electrospinning was employed fabricate three‐dimensional (3D) structured without highly hydrophobic average particle size 180 nm. Following these nanofibers, a series heat treatments were applied at temperatures (0°C, 50°C, 75°C, 100°C, 125°C) different durations (30 min, 1 h, 2 4 h) improve further. hydrophobicity assessed water contact angle (WCA) measurements, which confirmed that all exhibited behavior. addition particles, combined treatment, significantly enhanced resulting WCA values 155.75° PS 151.62° PVC thereby categorizing them having properties. Further characterization conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) Fourier‐transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyze morphology chemical compositions. These analyses indicated consistently fell within submicron nanoscale range, uniform distribution observed across nanofiber surfaces. resultant fiber diameters range 400 nm μm, while ranged from 200 600 Collectively, results suggest fabricated 3D are viable candidates health remediations energy mitigations.

Industrialization has led to significant increases in the types and quantities of pollutants, with environmental pollutants widely present various media, including air, food, everyday items. These can enter human body via multiple pathways, ingestion through food absorption skin; this intrusion disrupt production, release, circulation hormones body, resulting a range illnesses that affect reproductive, endocrine, nervous systems. Consequently, these pose substantial risks health. In particular, fetuses are highly sensitive during critical stages development, exposure periods growth development result more-obvious severe health hazards lead preterm birth, low birth weight, fetal malformations. The placenta acts as barrier between mother fetus, selectively filters certain pollutants. While some remain maternal bloodstream, others cross placental into umbilical blood passive diffusion, transport proteins, or endocytosis. transplacental transfer efficiency (TTE) is ratio level pollutant blood, valuable metric for evaluating ability breach barrier. A higher TTE implies larger proportion transferred from thereby amplifying potential fetus. Mass spectrometry-based detection methods extensively used chemical sciences because they exceptionally resolving. This analytical technique involves ionizing compounds within sample identifying them based on their distinct mass-to-charge ratios; it enables both qualitative quantitative analyses Current methodologies examining include in-vitro experiments, animal studies, epidemiologic model calculation; approaches help evaluate fetus placenta.
