Moreover, the electrospinning operating parameters were optimized by assessing the electrospinning process and the morphology of electrospun fibers, as follows: the mixed solvent of DMF and chloroform in a volume ratio of 5:1, an anhydroxylose unit (AXU)\/MMA molar ratio lower than 1:2, the flow speed of 0.00565\u20130.02260 mL\/min, and a receiving distance of 10\u201315 cm. Diameters of the electrospun fibers increased with increasing DMF content in the used solvent mixture, MMA dosage, and receiving distance. TiO2 nanoparticles were successfully dispersed in electrospun xylan-g-PMMA nanofibers and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray diffraction spectrum, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and their application for methylene blue (MB) degradation presented above 80% photocatalytic efficiency, showing the good potential in water treatment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym14122489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,19]],"date-time":"2022-06-19T21:19:26Z","timestamp":1655673566000},"page":"2489","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Fabrication of Electrospun Xylan-g-PMMA\/TiO2 Nanofibers and Photocatalytic Degradation of Methylene Blue"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yangyang","family":"Xie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shenzhen 518057, China"},{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7012-467X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xiao-Feng","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shenzhen 518057, China"},{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wenbo","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Queen Mary University of London Engineering School, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Junhui","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ran","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shenzhen 518057, China"},{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sihai","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shenzhen 518057, China"},{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yaoguo","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Shenzhen Research Institute, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Shenzhen 518057, China"},{"name":"Research Centre of Advanced Chemical Engineering, School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi\u2019an 710129, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"325","DOI":"10.1016\/j.biotechadv.2010.01.004","article-title":"Electrospinning: A fascinating fiber fabrication technique","volume":"28","author":"Bhardwaj","year":"2010","journal-title":"Biotechnol.
