Abstract
Recently, the composited nanofiber attraction has been growing from researchers across the world due to its exciting opportunities for use in biomedical applications. In this study, we fabricated electrospun fibers from poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composited with Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanoparticle for potential use in biomedical applications. From the experimental results, there was not any chemical bonding between the ZnO nanoparticles and the PVA molecules. The effect of concentration of ZnO nanoparticles in PVA solution on the diameter of electrospun fibers was found that the diameter of electrospun fibers increased with raising the concentration of suspended ZnO nanoparticles in solution. This is probably because the effect of nanoparticles on the diameter of electrospun fibers was through their effect on the viscosity of solution. In addition, we found that the diameter of electrospun fibers depended on the solution and processing parameters.
