Abstract

Our goal is create hydrophilic yet non-water soluble fibers by exploiting electrospinning to drive polymer phase separation. Using homogenous solutions of Poly(lacticacid) (PLA)/PLA-b-Poly(ethylene glycol) (PLA-b-PEG) in solvent Dimethylformamide (DMF), phase separation should occur between the bulk PLA and the PEG from copolymer PLA-b-PEG. The more hydrophilic polymer, PEG, should increase at the fiber's surface with increasing wt%.
