Effect of Molecular Weight on the Morphology of Electrospun Poly(vinyl Alcohol) Nanofibers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Morphological characteristics of electrospun PVA nanofibers were investigated in terms of polymer molecular weight was reported in this paper. The change in the morphology depending on the polymer concentration of electrospinning solution and the applied voltage were addressed. The fiber diameter increased with the increase in the molecular weight and polymer concentration and applied voltage and the average nanofiber diameter variation was found to be between 175.83 and 735.69 nm.
