ABSTRACT:
Cinnamomum camphora , commonly known as camphor tree or camphorwood, is a large evergreen tree native to Asia. The essential oil and extracts from this tree, particularly camphor, have been studied for the antimicrobial properties. Meanwhile, nanofiber containing C.champora has shown great potential as a transdermal drug delivery agent. In this study, nanofiber was produced using polyacrylonitrile (PAN), a polymer with various additions of camphor. The sheets were then characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle test, and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of the nanofiber. The results showed that the essential oil of C.champora in the PAN polymer produced nanofiber with small and uniform diameters and increasing hydrophilic properties. In conclusion, the addition of varying concentrations of C.champorato PAN affected the physical characteristics of nanofiber.
