Abstract:An approach that combines a modified electrospinning method with thermal stretching post‐treatment is designed to fabricate poly(l‐lactide‐co‐ε‐caprolactone) (PLCL) electrospun nanofiber yarns (ENYs). The nanofiber diameter in the PLCL ENYs is found to present an increasing trend with the increasing of polymeric concentration. When the PLCL concentration reaches 13% (w/v), the as‐generated ENYs show bead‐free and uniform nanofibrous structure. Then, a thermally stretching technique is applied to process the pr… Show more
