Antimicrobial properties of the nanofibers have been assessed and the cellular biocompatibility of the material has been evaluated using cultured fibroblast (NIH-3T3) cells. The nanofibrous mats have been characterized using techniques such as scanning electron microscope (SEM) and high resolution-transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM). The influence of conductivity on the nanofiber fabrication has also been studied. Stabilization of silver nanoparticles has been achieved by the presence of SDS in the nanofiber matrix. Nanofibers fabrication is achieved by co-electrospinning of casein with poly (ethylene oxide) in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) aqueous solution. Fabrication of nanofibers from casein along with nanoparticles for tissue engineering applications has been explored in this study. Casein, a major protein content in the milk has been extensively used in drug delivery due to its unique structural features.
