Electrospinning of Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)Part II

Electrospinning PVDF demands the right viscosity—too low and the fibers may break, too high and the solution clogs the needle or forms uneven fibers. Hitting the optimal viscosity window is what allows PVDF to form smooth, continuous, high-quality nanofibers.

Our latest part II of our electrospinning application series breaks down exactly how viscosity and concentration work together—through intrinsic viscosity and the Berry number—to control fiber formation. We also demonstrate how the microVISC PRO accurately measures PVDF solution viscosity across a wide range (0.5–1,000,000 cP) and shear rates using minimal sample volume, all within a closed system ideal for volatile organic solvents.

If you’re optimizing PVDF electrospinning, this guide shows you how to measure what actually matters.
