Amino‐cellulose‐based nanofibers are prepared by electrospinning of blended solutions of 6‐deoxy‐6‐trisaminoethyl‐amino (TEAE) cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The TEAE cellulose with a degree of substitution of 0.67 is synthesized via a nucleophilic displacement reaction starting from cellulose‐p‐toluenesulfonic acid ester. Several solution characteristics such as polymer concentration, electrical conductivity, and surface tension as well as setup parameters are investigated to optimize the ability of nanofiber formation. These parameters are evaluated using the rheological studies of the solutions. The nanofibers obtained are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and show a high antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. image
