anofibers high surface area to volume ratio can significantly enhance the activities requiring the use of increased surface
area such as adsorption of chemical species in filtration or controlled release of loaded drugs or chemical moieties.
β-cyclodextrin incorporated polystyrene and cellulose acetate nanofibers are electrospun by vertical solution electro spinning
method and the prepared nanofibers are characterized by SEM, FTIR, RAMAN and UV-Visible spectroscopy to understand
the changes in the nanofiber morphology and also to evaluate their potential activity for absorption of target molecular species
like ortho-chloro phenol from aqueous solution has been studied.
