Polyurethane (PU) fibers were obtained by electrospinning of waterborne PU dispersions. As dispersion cannot be electrospun, a water-soluble polymer (poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO)) was dissolved in the PU dispersion and fibers were obtained from electrospinning the resulting mixture. Pure PU fibers were obtained after removing PEO with water extraction. Continuous PU fibers were obtained using a PU/PEO weight ratio higher than 2.5. [-]
