Abstract

The gallic acid-loaded electrospun cellulose acetate fibers were successfully prepared. The fiber containing 2.5% gallic acid was smooth surface but observed drug flake on the surface of the fiber when increasing drug content. The thermal properties, mechanical properties and drug release behavior of the fibers were investigated comparing to the corresponding films.
