Morphological change of electrospun nanofibers of poly(vinyl) alchohol with three different biomimetic inorganic minerals

In this report, the role of biomimetically systhesized minerals on the electrospinning of poly(vinyl) alcohol has been addressed. Electrospinning is a very simple and vers-atile process by which polymer nanofibers with diameters ranging from a few nanometerw to several micro meters (usually between 50 and 500 nm) can be produced using an electrostatically driven jet of polymer solution. The sur-face morphology of poly(vinyl alcohl) with silver aleovera was investigated by confocal microscopy, XRD shows pred-ominantly poly(vinyl) alcohol and FTIR shows the interact-ion. Mechanical properties of nanofibrous membrane have been discussed.
