Uniform high-molecular-weight polylactide nanofibers electrospun from a solution below its entanglement concentration

Published: Jan 28, 2017
Abstract
In this article, we report the effects of the molecular weight on the electrospinnability of polylactide (PLA) solutions under identical conditions. Only above the entanglement concentration could uniform fibers be generated for PLA with a low molecular weight. However, electrospinning from a solution below its entanglement concentration produced uniform nanofibers when a high-molecular-weight PLA was adopted. The slow relaxation of...
