A Review on Biopolymer-Based Fibers via Electrospinning and Solution Blowing and Their Applications (2018, methodology): “PVA chitosan composite nanofiber using water and acetic acid solvents was also discussed in [167,168] where PVA was dissolved in distilled water at 20 wt.”
A Review: Electrospinning of Biopolymer Nanofibers and their Applications (2008, background): “158 191 In 2007, Jia et al, 158 and others, 149 192 additionally noted that electrospinning restricts the formation of a crystalline microstructure due to (1) the rapid solidification of the stretched molecular chains and (2) high elongation rates.”
Encapsulation of bioactive compounds through electrospinning/electrospraying and spray drying: A comparative assessment of food-related applications (2017, methodology): “[152] For instance, chitosan-based nanofibers have been successfully electrospun from chitosan solutions blended with PEO,[153] PVA,[109,149] and silk fibroin.”
pH Sensitive Hydrogels in Drug Delivery: Brief History, Properties, Swelling, and Release Mechanism, Material Selection and Applications (2017, background): “PVA is a synthetic, water soluble, non-toxic [105], hydrophilic, biocompatible, biodegradable [106], non-carcinogenic [107] polymer with good mechanical properties.”
Preparations, properties and applications of chitosan based nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning (2011, background): “Since chitosan is a linear cationic polymer, it was determined that chitosan can act like other ionic additives and reduce fiber diameter and thus producing bead free fibers [25].”
