Method of producing poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano/microfibers and uses thereof

A method of producing ready-to-use poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano/microfibers, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) homopolymer and/or poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) copolymer obtained by anionic polymerization of one or more alkyl cyanoacrylate (ACA) monomers and/or one or more ACA oligomers, wherein the alkyl substituent of the ACA monomers and/or the ACA oligomers may optionally be substituted, and wherein the ratio of the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) homopolymer and/or poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) copolymer is from 1 to 1.7;
• (b) dissolving the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) homopolymer and/or poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) copolymer of step (a) in a solvent;
• (c) electrospinning the solution obtained in step (b) to obtain poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate)-based nano/microfibers on a collector;
• and
• (d) removing the poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano/microfibers from the collector to obtain ready-to-use poly(alkyl cyanoacrylate) based nano/microfibers.
