Synthesis and characterization of electrospun fiber chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone have been studied. Electrospun fiber is a fiber produced from the electro spinning process that utilizes the power of electricity to produce polymer fibers with nano to micro diameters. The purpose of this study is to synthesis and characterize electrospun fiber from chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone. The mixture of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone solution is placed in an electrospinning capillary with a diameter of 0.57 mm with an electrospinning voltage of 25 kV and a distance between the tip of the spinneret and the collector by 10 cm. The resulting electrospun fiber is analyzed with fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Based on the FTIR spectra, it was found that the electrospun fiber produced consisted of chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. SEM analysis results show that the electrospun fiber obtained has an average diameter of 93.1 - 168.7 nm. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
