Different concentrations of PBS/CF solution were prepared by dissolving Poly(butylenes succinate) (PBS) in Chioroform (CF) solvent. Single electrospun nanoporous fiber with an ultra-high specific surface was formed from electrospinning PBS/CF solution in a single processing step. As the concentration of PBS in CF increased, morphology evolved from beads only to ultra-fine continuous fibers. At a suitable concentration, PBS/CF 13%(w/w), uniform nanoporous threads of polymers were emitted from the jet by an electrospinning process. The electrospun nanoporous fibers were fabricated with average porous diameters of ~200 nm. The electrospun PBS fibers offer the potential for direct fabrication of biologically based, high-surface-area porous fibers without the use of multiple synthetic steps or post-processing surface treatments.

Key Words: electrospinning • nanoporous fiber • PBS/CF fiber
