tIn this study, a novel fibrous membrane of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC)/poly(vinyl alcohol) blend wassuccessfully fabricated by electrospinning technique and characterized. The concentration of HEC (5%)with PVA (15%) was optimized, blended in different ratios (30–50%) and electrospun to get smoothn...
