Understanding of Electrospinnabilty of Polymer Supramolecular Complexes
Though electrospinning is considered as a straight forward technique to produce fibers from solutions of many polymers. There are still several challenges in the applicability of the technique, which are mainly related to the lack of electrospinnability of some of the polymer solutions. These include small molecules, rigid polymers, polyelectrolytes, some biomacromolecules and polymers with low molecular weight below Mc which willingly do not entangle. In order to overcome the lack of electrospinnability of such polymer solutions using the strategy of supramolecular interactions is the main motivation of the current research work. Where we are trying to understand the electrospinning of polymers complexed with the low molecular weight additives such as metal salts, surfactants and simple organic molecules through supramolecular interactions. The study is expected to have potential significance in designing functional polymer nanofibers involving an added functional additive.
