The authors wish to make a change to the published paper [1]. In Table 2 and Table 3, the units of Fiber Diameter have been changed from “µm” to “nm”. Also, in the footnotes of Tables 4 and 5, the units of Fiber Diameter have been changed from “µm” to “nm”. The mistake was due to the authors’ oversight. To avoid misleading readers, we would like to update the data in the article. The authors apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

The manuscript will be updated, and the original will remain online on the article webpage: https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/13/13/2088.

Where exp—experimental values; pred—values predicted by the RSM model; desir—overall desirability (0…1); *—the thickness was measured for the entire batch, before drying (n = 6); ** the predicted value resulted from the model optimizing the BC properties; *** Mann–Whitney two-tailed test (α = 0.001) of the experimental data versus the values predicted by the model optimizing the BC properties. Note: The data are presented as mean ± SD. Different letters (a–e within the same column show significant differences among the samples (Fisher (LSD), p < 0.05).
