Optimizing Electrospinning Parameters of PVA Nanofibers as a Baseline for Plasma Surface Modification in Tissue Engineering
Abstrak
Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofiber mats were electrospun while systematically varying applied voltage, tip-to-collector distance, and solution properties to define a reproducible processing window for future plasma surface activation. Fiber morphology and diameter distributions were quantified using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and automated analysis in ImageJ. Reducing applied voltage and increasing flight distance, in combination with tuned viscosity and high electrical conductivity, led to finer and more uniform fibers. The study provides practical guidance for controlling fiber size and stability in PVA electrospinning and establishes a baseline for subsequent plasma modification to enhance surface hydrophilicity and cell adhesion.
