Abstract The main aim of this research is the production of different biopolymeric fi bers by electrospinning and the
determination of the optimum working parameters for each polymer analyzed. In particular, three different
biopolymers have been studied: poly(lactic acid) (PLA), poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and a synthesized
poly(ester-urethane) based on a synthesized PLA-b-PCL-b-PLA tri-block copolymer. This research is focused
on the analysis of the infl uence of the processing parameters, such as the concentration and fl ow-rate of the
polymer solution and the applied voltage, as well as the physico-chemical properties of the polymers used,
