: Designing application-ready fi bers involves multifaceted challenges related to correlating the formulation properties and processing parameters to the fi ber engineering trifecta of spinnability, morphology, and properties. Here, we characterize the in fl uence of macromolecular and solvent properties on the trifecta for poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) fi bers produced using a bespoke centrifugal force spinning (CFS) setup and matched processing parameters. We illustrate the in fl uence of changing solvent on spinnability, morphology, and properties (thermal and mechanical) by varying the acetonitrile (AcN) fraction in the spinning dope formulated with PEO dissolved in AcN/H 2 O mixtures. We contrast the numerical values of measured diameter, tensile strength, elongation-at-break, and crystallinity of centrifugally spun PEO fi bers with the published data sets for electrospun fi bers using the Berry number (or the overlap parameter) as the ordinate. We compile, analyze, and replot ES and CFS data sets obtained for various solvents, PEO ( M w and c ), and processing parameters. Even though distinct forces determine the jet trajectory and fi ber formation for ES and CFS, we fi nd that centrifugally spun PEO fi bers emulate electrospun fi ber properties, morphology, and spinnability. We discuss the mechanism underlying volatile-entangled spinnability, displayed here by PEO solutions in certain AcN/H 2 O mixtures, in contrast to extensibility-enriched spinnability of multicomponent formulations, enabled by the addition of an ultrahigh M w polymer fraction.
