AI Article Synopsis
- Melt electrospinning is less explored than solution electrospinning but presents valuable opportunities, especially where solvents might be harmful or accumulate.
- This method offers an alternative that avoids some issues of solution electrospinning, but introduces new challenges like ensuring polymers' thermal stability.
- The review discusses existing literature on melt electrospinning and suggests potential areas for integrating both melt and solution techniques in future research.
Article Abstract
Melt electrospinning is relatively under-investigated compared to solution electrospinning but provides opportunities in numerous areas, in which solvent accumulation or toxicity are a concern. These applications are diverse, and provide a broad set of challenges to researchers involved in electrospinning. In this context, melt electrospinning provides an alternative approach that bypasses some challenges to solution electrospinning, while bringing new issues to the forefront, such as the thermal stability of polymers. This Focus Review describes the literature on melt electrospinning, as well as highlighting areas where both melt and solution are combined, and potentially merge together in the future.
