Table 4.

Determination of the hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity of AC nanofibers with the technique of CA measurement in concentrations of 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, and 18%

Scaffolds (%) CA (degree) Free surface energy γSV (mN/m)
14 9.66±3.36 5.12
15 46.96±0.43 4.97±0.04
16 44.11±11.27 8.55±5.58
17 32.28±3.38 6.86
18 20.97±2.19 5.99

Note: 14%, 15%, 16%, 17%, and 18% are different concentrations of AC drug-loaded nanofibers.

Abbreviations: AC, cellulose acetate; CA, contact angle.
