Electrospinning and Polymer Nanofibers: Process Fundamentals

摘要: Electrospinning is a popular technique for manufacturing nanofibers using an electrified jet of polymeric fluid. The fibrous, nonwoven mat that typically results from electrospinning finds applications in wide range industries. While setting up experiment relatively simple, controlling the attributes end-products, such as diameter and morphology fiber formed, orientation deposited fiber, porosity, surface properties resultant mat, etc., considerably more challenging. Significant progress has been made recent years understanding physical mechanisms govern process formation through electrospinning. This chapter reviews these advances provides overview present status technology. outlined mathematical framework studying mechanics involved discussed. relevant electrical rheological aspects fluids are also reviewed. An account diameter, morphology, properties, well provided. discusses limitations current technology perspective future developments.
