Understanding multiscale structure-property correlations in PVDF-HFP electrospun fiber membranes by SAXS and WAXS.

ABSTRACT: Electrospinning is a versatile technique to produce nanofibrous membranes with applications in filtration, biosensing, biomedical and tissue engineering. The structural and therefore physical properties of electrospun fibers can be finely tuned by changing the electrospinning parameters. The large parameter window makes it challenging to optimize the properties of fibers for a specific application. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the multiscale structure of fibers and its correlation with their macroscopic behaviors is required for the design and production of systems with dedicated applications. In this study, we demonstrate that the properties of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro propylene) (PVDF-HFP) electrospun fibers can be tuned by changing the rotating drum spe
