This paper demonstrated the applicability of electrospun P(3HB) film as a dye adsorbent agent.Malachite green (MG) was used as the model dye in this study. Interestingly, the electrospun P(3HB) film exhibited excellent dye adsorption capacity whereby 78% of dye was adsorbed from a 30 μMsolution of...
