Fabrication and characterization of electrospun poly(e-caprolactone) fibrous membrane with antibacterial functionality
This research study is mainly targeted on fabrication and characterization of antibacterial poly(e-caprolactone) (PCL) based fibrous membrane containing silver chloride particles. Micro/nano fibres were produced by electrospinning and characterized with TGA, DSC, SEM and mechanical analysis. It was...
