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 electrospinning
process. Their unique properties such as high surface area-to-volume ratio, small pore sizes, high porosity, and the
possibility of incorporation therapeutic compounds into the electrospun nanofibers has attracted the researcher’s
attention lately. This paper presents the obtaining of PEO and PVA nanofibers.
