Response surface modeling of electrospinning parameters on titanium oxide nanofibers’ diameter: a Box-Behnken design (BBD)
Electrospinning has been employed to produce titanium oxide nanofibers from an ethanolic solution containing precursor titanium tetraisopropoxide and polymer polyvinylpyrrolidone with acetic acid as a stabilizer. Response surface methodology based on Box-Behnken Design was implemented to investigate...
