FT-IR spectroscopy was performed to study the chemical bonds of the scaffolds and define probable interactions between components in the blends. In brief, specimens were combined with potassium bromide powder and pressed to create a round tablet. The FT-IR spectra of the specimens were then acquired by a FT-IR spectrophotometer (Bruker, Germany) and analyzed in the range of 400–4000 cm−1.
The hydrophilicity of the fabricated webs was assessed by measuring the contact angle of distilled water drop on the web, using Kruss drop shape analyzer (DSA 100). The webs were cut into 100 mm2 and fixed into the custom made sample holder. The shape of a single drop of distilled water (volume∼2 μL) on the web surfaces was recorded using the camera attached to the drop shape analyzer after 3 s. The contact angle was measured by the sessile drop approximation of the inbuilt software of the instrument.
