I read a paper, that said they had dissolved PS by putting 7.5wt% PS in 46.25wt% HFIP and 46.25wt% DMF, stirring overnight. Is that true? How can I dissolve PS for electrospinning?
this solvent mix will dissolve PS, if its good enough for spinning depends on the Mw of PS. See link below, its an electrospinning "archive" with lots of useful info electrospinning. Probably you can also find less toxic solvents for PS there.
