Effect of viscoelasticity in polymer nanofiber electrospinning: Simulation using FENE-CR model

Microscale electrospinning of polymer nanofiber interconnections

Patterning of polymer nanofiber meshes by electrospinning for biomedical applications

The end-product of the electrospinning process is typically a randomly aligned fiber mesh or membrane. This is a result of the electric field generated between the drop of polymer solution at the needle and the collector. The developed electric field causes the stretching of the fibers and their random deposition. By judicious selection of the collector architecture, it is thus possible to deve...

Preparation of PVDF/SiO2 Composite Nanofiber Membrane Using Electrospinning for Polymer Electrolyte Analysis

Superhydrophobic poly(vinylidene fluoride) PVDF-SiO2 composite membranes with different % of SiO2 contents were prepared by electrospinning. The surface morphologies of the membranes are characterized by using scanning electron microscopy. The nanofibers in the membranes were stacked in layers to produce fully interconnected pores that resulted in high porosity. The incorporation of SiO2 into t...

Effect of Nonsolvent on Electrospinning Performance and Nanofiber Properties

Effect of nonsolvent in the polymer (polyvinyl butyral) solution in ethanol on the electrospinning performance and nanofiber properties was investigated. Water as the nonsolvent was added in various amounts to the polymer solution. Addition of water did influence neither surface tension nor conductivity of polymer solution significantly. On the other hand, it increased its viscosity. The perfor...
