Preliminary Insights into Challenges in Electrospun Nanofibers from Hemp-Derived Cellulose

OpenAlex İngilizce

In this study, the fabrication of nanofibers from hemp-derived cellulose and cellulose acetate using electrospinning was investigated. Various solvent mixtures and concentrations were investigated to determine the optimum conditions for dissolving cellulose samples. The morphological and structural analyses of the cellulose and cellulose acetates were conducted using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA). Additionally, the adsorption efficiency of cellulose acetate for methylene blue (MB), a common dye pollutant, was evaluated. This aspect of the study highlights the potential environmental applications of hemp-derived cellulose derivatives in wastewater treatment.
