nanocomposites are prepared by electrospinning technique with PVA as binding/stabilizing agents. The resultant nanocomposites are characterized by using field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Electron microcopies show fascinating morphologies of PVA-Fe
