Electrospun Alginate Sulfate-Based Nanofiber: Morphology Assessment

Natural polymers have attracted researchers' attention in medicine and tissue engineering due totheir hydrophilicity and low immunogenicity. In this study, alginate sulfate and polyethylene oxideat a concentration of %۹ w/v, were electrospun at two different voltages. The scanning electronmicroscopy images showed that both samples were uniform and had a suitable bead-freemorphology. However, the fiber diameter decreased from ۸۹±۰۴۲ to ۸±±۰۸۹ nm by increasing theapplied voltage of electrospinning process from ۸± to ۸۴ kV.
