Electrospinning of Poly(L-lactide-co-D, L-lactide)
E-mail:
Electrospinning method was used to fabricate poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) (PLDLA) nanofiber non-woven membranes. The structure and morphology of the electrospun membranes were investigated by a scanning electron microscope (JEOL) after a gold coating. The diameter of the electrospun fiber was measured by Adobe Photoshop 5.0 software from the SEM pictures. SEM images showed that the fiber diameter and the nano-structured morphology depended on the system and processing parameters such as the solution concentration, applied electric field strength, needle tip diameter and humidity.
