Conclusion PK nanofibers have been successfully electrospun from the solution. The optimized concentration and mixture solvent ratio of the solution for electrospinning were 12wt% and TFA/MC (40/60,w/w), respectively. Different crystalline forms of electrospun PK fiber and solvent cast PK film were confirmed by XRD, FT-IR, and Raman spectroscopy. Solvent cast PK film showed completely α-form, while electrospun PK fiber showed β-form, suggesting the different crystallization kinetics and stress induced crystalline transformation during electrospinning and solvent casting process.
