Since, these materials are rarely resolved by microorganisms, hence, their recycling to the useful materials is crucial. In the present study, we used a solution electrospinning technique to synthesize nano/micro fibers. SEM and FTIR analyses were performed for characterization of the prepared samples. The investigations obviously confirmed the formation of nano/microfibers of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polystyrene (PS) and polycarbonate (PC) from the related waste plastics. To investigate the effect of various operational parameters of electrospinning method, the effect of the used needle diameter and voltage difference was taken into consideration.
