Abstract
In this study, ultrafine gelatin fibers were successfully produced with the use of the wet spinning technique. Gelatin is an exceptional and versatile biopolymer with applications in various fields of medicine and biochemistry. Distilled water and acetic acid was used as solvents. The morphology of the gelatin fibers was found to be dependent on the voltage of wet spinning process. The SEM results showed that 20 kV is an inappropriate voltage because it formed beaded nanofibers but the 26 kV was the best voltage for successful wet spinning of gelatin and 3D nanofibrous structure formation.
