Electrospinning polyethylene terephthalate glycol
International Journal of Bioprinting, 2023 Polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) is a difficult-to-spin material, and no previous papers have reported the correct conditions to create PETG meshes. To address this issue, a preliminary study on the solubility and electrospinnability of PETG using a range of solvent system was conducted and a Teas graph was established to select the ideal ...
