Effect of polymer molecular weight on the electrospinning of polylactides in entangled and aligned fiber forms

Thin fibers having diameters ranging from 25 nm to 2 mu m were successfully electrospun from solutions of polylactides (PLA) having different molecular weights both in entangled and aligned fiber forms. The latter aligned fibers were collected with a new target comprising a rotor around which severa...
