Quaternized chitosan-layered silicate intercalated composites based nanofibrous mats and their antibacterial activity

► Prepare quaternized chitosan and organic rectorite intercalated composites. ► Fabricate and characterize the electrospun nanofibrous mats. ► Study the effect of OREC on the morphology of as-spun mats. ► Investigate antimicrobial activity of the nanofibrous mats.
