An important and growing part of the textile industry is the medical and related healthcare and hygiene sector. Recently,ultrafine fiber webs made from biocompatible and biodegradable polymers have been obtained by the electrospinningprocess. Their unique properties such as high surface area-to-volume ratio, small pore sizes, high porosity, and thepossibility of incorporation therapeutic compounds into the electrospun nanofibers has attracted the researcher’sattention lately. This paper presents the obtaining of PEO and PVA nanofibers.
