I am curious what is maximum possible diameter of the fibers which can be produced using electrospinning and solution blow spinning.
Hi, If you are looking for the nano-fiber diameter and its length; this paper may help you:

Dear Prosper, any synthetic biodegradable polymer - solvent system, maximum voltage I can get on the system we use is 30 kV. But what I really wanted to find out, is what is the theoretical maximum diameter possible to be achieved.
Dear Salah, I have used different biodegradable polymers for the fabrication of nanofibers, included PCL to which the paper you provided is devoted. So, it is easily possible to make fibers more than 2 mkm. Thank you for your time anyway
Hello Petlin,
You should specify the polymer types and solvent systems. It is not possible to get sameresults for all biodegradable polymer solutions and, voltage by itself is not enough to determine all production parameters that influence fiber diameters.
For instance for PCL/Chloroform solution, fibers diameters of 5 um can be produced homogenously.
Dear Petlin
In addition to the polymer type and solvent, the maximum fibre diameter will depend on the solution concentration you are using and the type of collector.
