During electrospinning, all the solutions were loaded into a plastic syringe equipped with a stainless steel needle and were fed at a feeding rate of 10 μl/min using a syringe pump (KD Scientific, USA) located in a horizontal mount. A voltage of 10 kV was applied between the syringe needle and the grounded aluminum electrodes using a high-voltage power supply (Nano Technics, Korea). The distance between the syringe needle and the aluminum electrode was 12 cm.
