Abstract
Electrospun micro and nanofibres were obtained from an emulsion of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) at a concentration of 10% and olive oil at 4 and 8% w / w. Scanning electron microscope images showed tubular, continuous fibers, whose diameters are dependent on the concentration of the PVA and olive oil. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in-dicated that the obtained fibers were composed of both components. The study demonstrated the potential to encapsulate liposoluble compounds in polymeric fibers using the electrospinning technique.
