Abstract
The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) – chitosan nanofibres incorporated with honey were prepared using the electrospinning processing method. The antibacterial property of the prepared nanofibres was assessed using the well diffusion method. In the antibacterial test, the honey-incorporated PVA-chitosan nanofibres exhibited an inhibition zone of 1.3 cm.
