EGG ALBUMEN - A PROMISING MATERIAL FOR FABRICATION OF NANOPOROUS MATS
ABSTRACT
The natural protein, egg albumen, is used for fabrication of nanoporous mats by bubbfil electrospinning. In our experiment, starch is used as an additive. By suitable choices of the spinning conditions, a mat with nanopores can be produced, and the spinning process is tenable by controlling the thermodynamic properties of spun solution and spinning environment.
