Abstract
poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) is a bacterially derived copolymer produced by fermentation. PHBV has been attractive because of its potential environmental, pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. Recently, the electrospinning technique has been used to fabricate fibrous mat for biomedical applications such as artificial blood vessel, drug release and scaffolds, because this method is simple and easy to get ultrafine polymer fibers. Depending on speed of rotation drum collector, fiber structure was different. In this work, PHBV fiber was aligned by electrospinnning machine. Furthermore, alignment of PHBV fiber mats was given angle such as
