Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a synthetic polymer that holds significance in various fields such as biomedical, medical, and electronics, due to its biocompatibility and exceptional dielectric properties. Electrospinning is the most commonly used tool to fabricate fibers because of its convenience and the wide choice of parameter optimization. Various parameters, including solution molarity, flow rate, voltage, needle gauge, and needle-to-collector distance, can be optimized to obtain the desired morphology of the fibers. Although PVP is commercially available in various molecular weights, PVP with a molecular weight of 130,000 g/mol is generally considered to be the easiest PVP to fabricate fibers with minimal challenges. However, the fiber diameter in this
case is usually in the micron regime, which limits the utilization of PVP fibers in fields that require fiber diameters in the nano regime. Generally, PVP with a lower molecular weight, such as 10,000 g/mol and 55,000 g/mol, is known to present challenges in fiber preparation. In the current study, parameter optimization for PVP possessing molecular weights of 10,000 g/mol and 55,000 g/mol was carried out to obtain nanofibers. The electrospinning technique was utilized for fiber fabrication by optimizing the above-mentioned parameters. SEM analysis was performed to analyze the fiber morphology, and quantitative analysis was performed to correlate the effect of parameters on the fiber morphology. This research study will lead to various applications, such as drug encapsulation for sustained drug release and nanoparticles/nanotubes encapsulation for microwave absorption applications.
