Introducing electrospun polylactic acid incorporating etched halloysite nanotubes as a new nanofibrous web for controlled release of Amoxicillin

The use of electrospun membrane is of great importance to control the drug release rate and improve the remedial performance. In this work, etched halloysite nanotubes (eHNTs) loaded with Amoxicillin (AMX) were imbedded in poly(lactic acid) (PLA) solution and were electrospun to make nanocomposite fibrous web. The morphology, uniformity, and size of electrospun (PLA/eHNTs/AMX) nanocomposite fibers were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy...
