The zeta potential was measured as described previously with slight modifications [32 (link)]. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB), at a ratio of 1:20, was added to the PS/PVP solution. Then, the PS/PVP and PS/PVP+TBAB solutions were diluted (1:10) using DMF. The Malvern Zetasizer Nano ZS90 (Malvern Instruments Ltd, England) utilizes an electrophoretic light scattering technique to measure the zeta potential. All the tests were performed at room temperature. After measuring the zeta potential, the corresponding electrospun fibrous membranes were prepared as described above.
