## TL;DR

This paper studies how using multiple solvents affects the electrospinning process and fiber formation.

## Contribution

The study introduces a method to optimize solvent systems for better control of electrospinning and fiber structure.

## Key findings

- Binary solvent systems significantly influence electrospinning and gelation behavior.
- Solvents like chloroform, DMF, DMSO, and d-limonene affect transition temperatures and fiber morphology.
- Optimized solvents enable the design of advanced polymeric materials.

## Abstract

The paper analyses the influence of binary solvent systems on the electrospinning process and gelation effect. The characteristics of the electrospinning process are presented, considering the physicochemical properties of polymer solutions and the role of different solvents: chloroform, dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and d-limonene. The shift in transition temperatures between the liquid and the gel phase were analyzed, and the obtained fiber structures were assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The optimization of solvent systems allows for the control of electrospinning process parameters, opening new possibilities for design advanced polymeric materials.
