Material selection in electrospinning microparticles

Electrospinning is a valuable production method for nanoscale polymeric fibers. A major limitation of the technology is the requirement for high molecular weight polymers as a major part of the matrix. Many applications would benefit from flexibility in the materials for electrospinning, including pharmaceuticals, wearable devices and diagnostics, and structured fibers with particles included that are larger than the fiber size. To realize these...
