Abstract

The parameters applied in electrospinning process were the main factors to produce ultrafine nanofibers for different target applications. In this study, the effect of polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) concentration, from 12% to 16% (wt) in distilled water, on the morphology and dimension of nanofibers was investigated. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to analyze the morphology of PVOH electrospun nanofibers and Image J analysis was used to calculate the dimension of fibers. From the results, 12% and 13% of PVOH concentration produced bead shaped fibers. Meanwhile ultrafine nanofibers were produced from PVOH concentration of 14%, 15%, and 16% (wt). The diameter of ultrafine fibers increased with the increase in PVOH concentration.
