Through external doping, novel conductive polymer nanofibers were successfully fabricated using ionic liquids. In this study, a polymer blend of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and chitosan (CS) in a 4 : 1 weight ratio was fabricated in the form of nanofibers through electrospinning and used as a scaffold m...
