Abstract

Polyamide 6 (PA6)/Chitosan (CS) based nanofibers containing different amount of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) were electrospun successfully. Properties of the blended solutions were investigated in terms of viscosity, conductivity and pH values. Morphological and structural evaluations of nanofibers were conducted by SEM and EDS analysis. The results revealed that uniform nanofibers were obtained with the addition of a various amount of HAp. Tensile strength and elongational characteristics of the nanofibrous biocomposites were also studied.
