a–c SEM and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping images of beta-type 940-HOA zeolite (10 wt%)–EVOH nanofiber composite produced from 7 w/v% HFIP (scale bar: 8 μm). d Nanofiber is composed of blood compatible poly (ethylene-co-vinyl alcohol) as the primary matrix polymer and zeolites that are capable of selectively adsorbing uremic toxins. e, f Creatinine adsorption capacity of 940-HOA zeolite nanofibers by fiber mass (e) and zeolite mass (f) in the absence (open bar) or presence (closed bar) of flow.
