Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a naturally occurring polymer that is found in variety of tissues and biological fluids. Due to its unique properties such as biodegradability and biocompatibility, HA can be applied in fabrication of nanofibers for tissue engineering and wound healing. Electrospinning as one of the methods of creating such structures allows to obtain fibers and particles with nano- and microscale from polymer solutions utilizing the high voltage power supply. However, the electrospinning process directly depends upon different parameters, including physical characteristics of the polymer solutions. This paper reviews physical properties of aqueous-organic HA solutions considering their suitability for electrospinning
