Electrospinning is a unique method to produce ultrafine fibers (micrometer to nanometer) with high specific surface area from polymer solutions or melts using electrical energy.
Electrospinning is a unique method to produce ultrafine fibers (micrometer to nanometer) with high specific surface area from polymer solutions or melts using electrical energy. Typically, electrospinning needs a direct current (DC) in the range of several tens of kV. Currently, electrospinning device has two standards, i.e. vertical and horizontal. This process is carried out at room temperature and at normal pressure. Most of the polymers are dissolved in a suitable solvent before electrospinning process.
Electrospinning is regarded as one of the versatile and popular industrial methods in production of polymer nanofibers from suspension solution (precursor polymer). This method in some respects is very similar to its much earlier type, i.e.
Electrospinning is the applicable methods for polymer nanofibers producing in industrial or laboratory-scale. The polymer precursor can be in solution state or polymer melt as the process input. In this method it tried to produce the polymer stream assisting of strong electrical field at the first, then the steam followed by destabilizing can produce polymer nanofibers.
