Polymeric nanofibres can be good dye adsorbents as they have large surface areas, good connectivity, and tunable wettability. In this study, recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET) nanofibres loaded with graphene oxide (GO) in various amounts (0 - 1.5 v/v%) were fabricated using the electrospinni...
