The formation of nanofibers via electrospinning and the physicochemical properties of the obtained fibers were evaluated. Results showed that the presence of Chitosan enhanced the thermal stability of poly (acrylic acid), since poly (acrylic acid)/alginate fibers lost 5% of their mass at 41°C while poly (acrylic acid)/chitosan lost this amount at around 125°C. The fibers demonstrated suitable characteristics to be used as a bacteria bioreactor.1 aRodolfo, Velasco1 aRicardo, Vera-Graziano1 aLópez-Maldonado, E.A.1 aMercedes, Oropeza1 aDastager, Syed1 aAdriana, Álvarez-Andrade1 aAna, leticia, Iglesias1 aLuis, Jesús, Villarreal  uhttps://library.ncl.res.in/content/study-nanofiber-scaffolds-paa-paacs-and-paaalg-its-potential-use-biotechnological
