Ultrafine porous cellulose triacetate (CTA) fibers were prepared by electrospinning with methylene chloride (MC) and a mixed solvent of MC/ethanol (EtOH) and their intra- and inter-fiber pore structures was investigated. Ultrafine porous CTA fibers electrospun with MC had isolated circular shape pores with a narrow size distribution in the range of 50–100 nm. In the case of ultrafine CTA fibers electrospun with MC/EtOH (90 / 10 v/v), they had interconnected larger pores in the range of 200–500 nm. These porous structures were induced by phase separation resulting from the rapid evaporation of solvent during the electrospinning process. However, non-porous corrugated fibers were obtained from MC/EtOH (85 / 15 v/v) and MC/EtOH (80 / 20 v/v) due to their lower vapor pressure. The pore sizes in ultrafine CTA fibers electrospun with MC showed a bimodal distribution centered at ∼17 and ∼64 nm. CTA fibers electrospun with MC/EtOH (90 / 10 v/v) showed the greatest porosity due to their larger intra-fiber pores and fiber diameter.
