Cover Story: Fibers with diameters in the lower micrometer range for textile and biomedical applications are produced by solution electrospinning, but this process is environmentally harmful because toxic solvents are used. Melt electrospinning is a sustainable alternative but the high viscosity and low electrical conductivity of molten polymers produces thicker fibers. Here, we used multifunctional potentially bio-based dyes as additives to produce antibacterial fibers in the lower micrometer range using pilot-scale melt electrospinning for interesting applications in the biomedical field.
