Article Preview

Abstract:

Silk fibroin, gelatin, and chitosan blended solution in formic acid with different composition ratios were electrospun. The fiber could be produced from SF:G : C blended solution at weight blending ratios (%wt: %wt: ml) of 10:20:0, 10:20:0.5, 10:20;1, 10:20:1.5, 10:20:2, and 20:10:1. When the chitosan content in blended solution increased, the average diameter decreased from 245 to 100 nm and fiber size distribution was narrow. The SF: G: C solution at ratio of 10:20:1 under high electric field and long spinning distance provided the continuous and uniform fibers. The formic acid as solvent did not affect to the electrospinnability and morphology of SF: G: C blended nanofiber. Tensile strength of SF: G: C (10:20:1) blended nanofiber was decreased with increasing of silk fibroin content, SF: G: C (20:10:1). The results indicated that SF: G: C electrospun nanofiber mats could be prepared and have a potential to be applied in membrane application.
