The effects of electrospinning parameters on nanofibers.

Parameters	Effects on Nanofiber Properties	Ref.
Polymer parameters
Polymer concentration	Higher polymer concentration leads to increased fiber diameter and higher pore size and porosity	[21]
Solution viscosity	Increased viscosity results in increased nanofiber uniformity and diameter and reduced beaded morphology	[80]
Molecular weight of polymer	Increased molecular weight leads to higher nanofiber diameter and less bead formation	[81]
Surface tension	Less surface tension leads to proper jet initiation	[82]
Conductivity	Higher solution conductivity leads to decreased fiber diameter	[83]
Electrospinning parameters
Applied voltage	Initially decreases nanofiber diameter and then increases after a point	[84]
Needle tip to collector distance	Too short and too long distances lead to bead formation	[85]
Flow rate	Higher flow rate leads to bead formation, decreased flow rate leads to a decrease in fiber diameter	[86]
Temperature	Higher temperature leads to decreased fiber diameter	[87]
Humidity	Increase in humidity leads to circular pores on the fibers	[88]
