Recommended molecular weight of PVP for electrospinning?

06 March 2024 0 3K Report

Could anyone confirm if Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) K-30 with a molecular weight of 40K is suitable for electrospinning? If not, could you recommend an appropriate molecular weight of PVP for electrospinning?

Furthermore, which solvent would be more suitable considering its high hygroscopic nature?
