In this research we have developed biocompatible nanofibrous mats with hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) blended with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using water as the only solvent. Electrospinning of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) (5 wt%) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) (15 wt%) at different weight ratios 50:...
