 Effect of the electrospinning conditions on the higher-order structure and the stereocomplex formation of the PLLA/PDLA blend nanofibers taken-up on a rotating target

【Supercategory:2. Fiber manufacturing Category:2.1 Special fiber Subcategory:2.1.1 Nanofiber

 PLLA/PDLA blend electrospun nanofibers were obtained on a rotating target. The diameter of the nanofiber decreased with increasing applied voltage and the nozzle-target distance. It further decreased with increasing take-up velocity. The reduction of the fiber diameter does not only enhanced the stereocomplexation also suppress the formation of homo-chiral crystal.
