In this study, cellulose nanowishkers (CNW) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite fibers were prepared via needle-free high voltage, free liquid surface electrospinning with cylindrical electrode. CNW were obtained from hemp shives as a result of various treatments including steam explosion pretreatment, ball milling and ultrasonication technologies. The electrospinning of PVA /CNW composite solution has been successfully used to produce nano- and micro fibers. The goals of this paper are to determine the morphology of electrospun mats and study the mechanical and optical properties of nanofibre composites.
