Surface morphology of electrospun PLA fibers : mechanisms of pore formation

The article elucidates the mechanisms of formation of varying degrees of surface pores/pits on polylactic acid (PLA) fibers during electrospinning. The role of a combination of different parameters in governing pore formation was demonstrated. They include solvent vapor pressure (pv), solvent miscib...
