Electrospinning of thermoplastic carboxymethyl cellulose/poly(ethylene oxide) nanofibers for use in drug-release systems

Polymeric delivery systems using electrospun nanofibers have been developed for many applications, notably for drug delivery and tissue engineering in the healthcare industry. In this study, a nanofiber drug carrier was fabricated via two different electrospinning processes, blend and coaxial, using a new degradable thermoplastic carboxymethyl cellulose (TCMC) and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO). The TCMC was synthesized by graft copolymerization...
