Fabrication and characterization of cellulose acetate nanofibers

In this study, CA fibers were fabricated using electrospinning technique with the mixture of acetic acid/acetone as the solvent system with the ratio of 3:1. The morphological structure of the fibers obtained was observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM). The SEM results showed that 10% of C...
