Hi all. I have blended a polymer polyvinyl cinnamate and gelatin in HFIP solvent?

14 February 2025 1 4K Report

When I blended them separately, it formed a homogeneous solution. When I tried to blend them together it started forming a cloudy mix. Should I give them some temperature to make them a clear solution? Or is that common in blending the polymers while doing an electrospinning??

kindly help me out to solve this issue which i am facing curently?

Abdelhak Maghchiche

The cloudy mix you're seeing when blending polyvinyl cinnamate and gelatin in HFIP might be due to polymer incompatibility, so try increasing the temperature to improve miscibility and ensure solvent quality. Consider the order of polymer addition and polymer ratio.
