Solvent evaporation in a binary solvent system for controllable fabrication of porous fibers by electrospinning

Porous Fiber Formation in Polymer-Solvent System Undergoing Solvent Evaporation

Electrospinning of uniform polystyrene fibers: The effect of solvent conductivity

By means of the electrospinning technique, micronand nanofibers can be obtained from polymer solutions under a very high electrical field. A special challenge is to produce bead-free uniform fibers since any minor changes in the electrospinning parameters such as slight variations in the polymer solutions and/or electrospinning experimental parameters may result in significant variations in the...

Electrospinning of Grooved Polystyrene Fibers: Effect of Solvent Systems

Secondary surface texture is of great significance to morphological variety and further expands the application areas of electrospun nanofibers. This paper presents the possibility of directly electrospinning grooved polystyrene (PS) fibers using both single and binary solvent systems. Solvents were classified as low boiling point solvent (LBPS): dichloromethane (DCM), acetone (ACE), and tetrah...

Electrospun porous cellulose acetate fibers from volatile solvent mixture

Formation of organic nanoparticles by solvent evaporation within porous polymeric materials.

A simple and generic method is developed to form organic nanoparticles in porous materials by solvent evaporation. The composites can be readily dissolved in water to produce aqueous organic nanoparticle dispersions.
