Abstract

An electro spinning process was used to fabricate silk fibroin (SF) Nano fiber nonwovens for wound dressing applications. The electrospinning of regenerated SF was performed with formic acid as a spinning solvent. The morphology, conformational l structures of SF with herb extract nanofibers were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), SEM micrograph showed that the electrospun SF nanofibers had an average diameter of 80nm and a distribution in diameter ranging from 30 to 120nm.
