In this study, chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/magnetic nano fibrous membrane was fabricated via electro spinning. First, magnetic nano particles with average size of 7.98 nm, were fabricated using co-precipitation method. Then, chitosan solution was blended with aqueous PVA solution in different w...
