Carbon quantum dots (C-dots) triggered photoluminescent keratin/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/C-dots nanofibers (NFs) with optical transparency and biocompatibility were prepared by an electrospinning process. The synthesized NFs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM),...
