of the gel for example with volume ratios from 0 1 1 to 2 1 when using dmso generally it is preferable to mix equal volumes of cyanoacrylate monomer and dmso mixing can be carried out by dropwise addition of cyanoacrylate monomer to the dipolar aprotic solvent for example contained in a glass test tube using a vortex mixer the contents can be submitted to agitation to ensure complete mixing of the two liquids the process that leads to formation of the gel as a result of contact of the cyanoacrylate monomer with the solvent is exothermic therefore during formation of the gel it is preferable for the test tube or the container in question to be kept in a cold environment for the purpose of accelerating the exothermic gelling process after gelling preferably the gel is left to equilibrate at room temperature the second step of the process involves dissolution of the gel in a solvent having properties suitable for electrospinning which has properties of solvent for polyacrylates solvents suitable for the electrospinning process comprise acetonitrile ketones such as in particular acetone chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents and simple c 1 c 4 carboxylic acids such as formic acid and acetic acid however aqueous solvents water alcohols and linear hydrocarbon solvents such as hexane and heptane are not suitable in general it is possible to use any conventional solvent that is able to dissolve a polyacrylate and has the desired electrical properties necessary for the electrospinning process the important electrical properties of the solvent.
