PVA/Fe3O nanofibers are composite materials contain magnetic materials in nanometer-sized fibers that have biocompatible, non-toxic, and high chemical stability properties. It makes Fe3O nanoparticles suitable for application in the biomedical field as a Drug Delivery System or targeted drug delivery system. Fe3O will be composited with Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA) and formed into nanofibers. The purpose of this study was to analize the effect of variations in volume % concentration of F Fe3O used on PVA/Fe3O nanofibers. Fe3O was dissolved in dionized water using ultrasonication. The suspension of Fe3O solution was mixed with 10% PVA solution to form PVA/Fe3O solution with Fe3O variations of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%. Electrospinning process was carried out on PVA/Fe3O solution with a voltage of 20 kV, flow rate of 5 ml/hour, distance of jet to collector is 15 cm. The results of SEM characterization can be concluded that the one that has the best morphology in this study is PVA/Fe3O nanofiber with a concentration of 10% because it generates uniform nanofibers with the smallest diameter at this concentration, the fibers do not attach to one other, and there are no beads.
