Electrospinning was applied to nitrocellulose solution in ethyl methyl keton to obtain nanofibers. Scanning electron microscope images indicated both smooth fibers with a diameter range from 90 to about 150 nm and porous fibers with 400 to 500 nm diameter. Electrospinning was also applied to the aq. solutions containing PVA, PVA/Zinc acetate and PVA/ZnO. The influences of the zinc acetate concentration as well as the method of zinc acetate –ZnO transformation on the resulting fibers were evaluated using SEM analysis method
