Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers Reinforced by Tannic Acid/Fe+++ Complexes

Electrospun Polymer Nanofibers Reinforced by Tannic Acid/Fe+++ Complexes

We report the successful preparation of reinforced electrospun nanofibers and fibrous mats of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) via a simple and inexpensive method using stable tannic acid (TA) and ferric ion (Fe+++) assemblies formed by solution mixing and pH adjustment. Changes in solution pH change the num...
