Personal protective equipment (PPE) has attracted more attention since the outbreak of epidemic in 2019. Advanced nano techniques, such as electrospinning, can provide new routes for developing novel PPE. However, electrospun antibacterial PPE is not easily obtained. Fibers loaded with photosensitizers prepared using single-fluid electrospinning have a relatively low utilization rate due to influence embedding and their inadequate mechanical properties. For this study, monolithic nanofibers core–shell were compared. Monolithic F1 fibers comprising polyethylene oxide (PEO), poly(vinyl alcohol-co-ethylene) (PVA-co-PE), photo-antibacterial agent vitamin K3 (VK3) created blending process.
