Controllability of the hydrophilic or hydrophobic behavior of the modified polysulfone electrospun nanofiber mats

In this study controllability of morphology and wettability behavior of the polysulfone electrospun nanofiber mats (ENMs) by adding the surfactants was investigated. The effect of cationic, anionic, and non-ionic surfactants on diameter size, hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity, surface roughness, and...
