Abstract
Electrospinning permits to prepare ultrafine fibers with micro to nano-meter range diameters. Multi-jet approaches can be used to fabricate blend nanofibrous mats composed by two or more polymers presenting different properties such as degradation rate, mechanical properties and so on. In this study, a series of PLA/PCL blend nanofiber mats were prepared by dual-jet electrospinning. The relative weight ratio of PLA and PCL in blend was controlled by changing the flow ratio of the two syringe pumps containing the polymer solutions.
