Abstract
Humic acid is a material formed as a result of the degradation of animal and plant wastes, it cleans heavy metals which
are industrial wastes that threaten both the environment and human health. In part I of this study, the Fe3O4@HA@Ag
compound was synthesized, its inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin was prepared by using the kneading technique
and obtained inclusion complexes were characterized. In this study, part II, nanowebs were formed from the inclusion
of complex-containing polymer solution via the electrospinning method. The electrospinning solution consisted of
β-CD:Fe3O4@HA@Ag inclusion complexes at the rate of 5%, 7.5% and 10% by weight and the polyvinylpyrrolidone
(PVP) polymer as the carrier. The obtained nanoweb material was characterized by instrumental methods such as SEM,
FTIR, XRD, and TGA. The results obtained from FTIR, XRD and TGA revealed that β-CD:Fe3O4@HA@Ag inclusion
complexes containing nanowebs were successfully produced. The uniform fibre formation was detected from SEM
images. The average fibre diameter of 5%, 7.5% and 10% β-CD:Fe3O4@HA@Ag inclusion complex containing
nanowebs were measured to be 612.5 nm, 610.8 nm and 431.2 nm, respectively.
