Abstract
Electrospinning is a process which transforms polymer solutions into solid fibres in timeframes that can be on the order of tens of milliseconds. In the case of an amorphous polymer, the resultant molecular organisation may not be so different from that of the solution. However, polymers are rich in different types of ordering processes, and these may be encountered during electrospinning. In common with others areas of polymer processing, the processing procedures in electrospinning can have a significant impact on the structure and properties of the product and the selection of the chemical configuration of the polymer.
