Abstract

AbstractPLLA and stereocomplexed polylactide (sc‐PLA) nanofibers were formed by electrospinning solutions of the polymers in HFIP. A highly semi‐crystalline sc‐PLA nanofiber having only sc crystallites was confirmed by WAXD analysis. The diameters of the nanofibers of both polymers decreased slightly when they were annealed at 60 °C, which was near Tg. Enzyme degradation of both as‐spun PLLA and sc‐PLA nanofibers by proteinase K from Tritirachium album was carried out. The rate of degradation of the nanofibers can be controlled by varying annealing conditions, hence the extent of crystallinity.magnified image
