Abstract

Abstract: Fiber membranes of Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)/Shell extract of melinjo (SEM) have been successfully synthesized using the electrospinning method. The synthesis began by making a precursor solution between a mixture of SEM solution and PVA solution. The SEM solution was made at a concentration of 10% using ethanol mixed with water, while the PVA solution was made at a concentration of 20% with a water solvent. The precursor solution ware made by mixing PVA solutions and SEM solution at several mass ratios; 10:0, 10:1, 10:3, and 10:5, and then synthesized into fiber using the electrospinning method. Characterization of a digital microscope was used to investigate the morphology and diameter of the fibers produced.
