4.3.4 SEM

The morphology of electrospun (chitosan–nanoparticle) composite nanofiber is shown in Figure 11. It is clear from these figures that no phase separation has been observed and the homogeneity of the obtained nanofibers can be easily observed and the composite of the nanoparticles has been proven. It is also clear that the diameter of chitosan-nanoparticle composite nanofiber is smaller than chitosan nanofiber.
