Popis: Preparation of composite nanofibers by using whole microalgal biomass (Scenedesmus almeriensis) with poly(ethylene oxide) by electrospinning process was explored in presence of different solvents. Diameter and morphology index of the nanofibers were determined by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Out of the solvents examined, ethanol, methanol and acetone resulted in better formation of more dense uniform structured composite nanofibers with diameter
