I know that PLA is soluble in DCM, not soluble in water and hard to dissolve in DMF. What kind of solvents will be suitable for electrospray system for the amphiphilic polysaccharide and amphiphilic polysaccharide & PLA ?
It is desirable not to use amphiphilic molecules or otherwise molecules with acyl groups and polymer. In this case, there will be foam. Better only polysaccharide or polylactide. The mechanism of droplet formation consists in the formation of a gel. The solvent can be water. Its pH can be adjusted by adding acid or alkali.
Amphiphilic polysaccharide may required amphiphilic solvent of equal propotion of the two components. The saturation point should be determined to serve as a guide. The prepared solution should be used immediately to avoid deternination.
