During the past few decades, to create new materials for novel uses, the development of numerous hybridmaterials has been the subject of much investigation. In this study, photopolymerization type II was usedto create a hybrid material made of gelatin and polystyrene. For this purpose, firstly gelatin nanofiber (GNF)was synthesized by the electrospinning process. Then, by adding styrene monomer on the gelatinnanofiber, it was bonded to the gelatin nanofiber simultaneously with styrene polymerization by thephotopolymerization type II. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy was used to characterize thechemical structure. Thermal degradations were investigated with thermogravimetric analysis. The surfacemorphologies were searched with Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and wettability properties wereinvestigated.
