Fabrication of Biohybrid Nanofibers by the Green Electrospinning Technique and Their Antibacterial Activity.

ABSTRACT: The development of bioactive polymer nanofiber sheets based on eco-friendly components is required to meet the needs of various medical applications as well as to preserve the environment. This study aimed to fabricate biohybrid nanofibers based on water-soluble polymers and aqueous extract of myrrh. The myrrh extract was incorporated into poly(vinyl alcohol)/tragacanth gum nanofiber mats (myrrh@PVA/TG) by the green electrospinning technique. Various characteristics of the prepared fibers such as morphology, fiber diameter distribution, crystallinity, and thermal stability were studied. The results confirmed that the morphology of biohybrid nanofibers was uniform without beads and tragacanth gum plays an important role in controlling the average diameter of fibers and the crystallinity.
