This research aimed to investigate the application of the coaxial electrospun method for the production of natural extracts (papaya leaf extract) fibre films. This was achieved through utilising different polymers and with a focus on the conductivity and the viscosity of polymer solutions as critical parameters to generate successful fibres. Electrospinning is a promising trending manufacturing method for incorporating thermolabile herbal extracts using coaxial electrospun features.
