lectrospun polymer fibre is a major breakthrough in the
biomedical field due to its remarkable contribution in fibre-
based sensors, drug delivery, tissue engineering and medical
diagnosis. This has been possible due to the multidimensional
structures of nonwoven fibre mat which can be obtained by
electrospinning by the control of process parameters. In this
work cellulose acetate (CA) fibre mat was synthesized using
a single solvent system of pure acetone and a solvent system
of 2:1 acetone/N,N Dimethyl acetamide (DMAc). Scanning
electron microscopy (SEM) analysis showed that CA with
acetone yielded a mixture of ribbon and cylindrical shaped
fibre whereas homogeneous cylindrical nanofibres were
obtained with acetone/DMAc. Fourier transform infrared
spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the peaks of CA. Electrical
conductivities of CA solution were measured and found that
the conductivity increased with decreasing fibre diameter.
