Dispersity and spinnability: Why highly polydisperse polymer solutions are desirable for electrospinning

Dispersity and spinnability: Why highly polydisperse polymer solutions are desirable for electrospinning

We develop new criteria that describe the minimum concentration limits controlling the spinnability of dilute and semi-dilute flexible polymer solutions with high molecular weight and varying polydispersity. By asserting that the finite and bounded extensional viscosity of the solution is the key ma...
