Influence of the preparation method on selected properties of PLA nanofibers modified with lavender oil

Abstract

PLA nanofibers containing 30 wt% lavender essential oil (LEO) was obtained by electrospinning (ES) and solution blow spinning (SBS) methods. The structure was assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The ES method produced thinner nanofibers than the SBS method. The method of obtaining nanofibers did not affect their thermal properties.
