Relationships between the viscosity and concentration in semidilute regimes of linear homopolymers of PMMA in DMF was investigated for electrospun nanofibers (Fig. 1.7]. The plot of the zero shear viscosity with the C/C distinctly separated into different solution regimes, viz. dilute C/C < 1], semidilute unentangled 1 3]. 

In a study done by Lin et al. (2004), several surfactants were added separately to PS solutions and examined for their effect on the produced nanofibers. It was noted that only small amount, not exceeding 10 M of cationic ones such as dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide and tetrabutylammonium chloride caused inhibition of beads formation. However, adding nonionic surfactants such as TritonX-405 to PS solution did not inhibit beads formation within the electrospun nanofibers. Hence, it was concluded that increasing the polymer solution conductivity would help in decreasing the beads formed while increasing the nanofibers uniformity.
