In this paper, the surface morphologies of polyvinyl alcohol/milk nanofibers
produced via electrospinning technique were investigated. The electrospinning
process was performed at various processing parameters (flow rate, applied
voltage) and different polyvinyl acetate to milk ratios (100/0, 90/10, 80/20,
70/30, and 60/40). The scanning electron microscopy and Image J software were
used to characterize the surface morphologies, especially the diameter
distribution of electro spun nanofibers. The results of scanning electron
microscopy show that the diameter of polyvinyl acetate/milk nanofibers
increases with the increase of the spinning speed and spinning voltage but
decreases with the increase of the weight percentage of milk in the spinning
solution. The potential applications of this bicomponent nanofibers are
numerous and diverse. The research results in present paper can contribute to
better control of the electrospinning process and thus expanding the
applicabilities, such as dressings for wound healing in sports.
