Hi Racheal,

You can prepare a solution using approximately wt. 7% polymer. You can try 6% or 8% depending on the situation. You should dissolve the polymer in pure water by adding it slowly. If you mix overnight, you can get a homogeneous solution.

Best regards.

Doufnoune RACHIDA Rachida

Dissolve 5 % by weight of poly (ethylene oxide) in deionized water. In order to obtain a homogeneous solution, magnetic stirring for at least 12 hours at room temperature is necessary before being inserted into the syringe for electrospinning.

Please check the following document.

With my best regards
