Abstract
A randomly-oriented 3-D fibrous structure and a method for making the same. The method involves electrospinning a spinning dope with an electrospinning apparatus, wherein the spinning dope comprises: a solvent; a polymer dissolved in the solvent, wherein the dissolved polymer is in subunits having molecular weights that are about 5 to about 150 kDa; and a surfactant; to form one or more fibers that comprise a polymer-surfactant complex and that arrange randomly and evenly in three dimensions when contacting a collecting board of the electrospinning apparatus thereby forming the randomly-oriented 3-D fibrous structure.
