Modeling of solvent evaporation from polymer jets in electrospinning

Porous Fiber Formation in Polymer-Solvent System Undergoing Solvent Evaporation

Structuring of polymer solutions upon solvent evaporation.

The morphology of solution-cast, phase-separated polymers becomes finer with increasing solvent evaporation rate. We address this observation theoretically for a model polymer where demixing is induced by steady solvent evaporation. In contrast to what is the case for a classical, thermal quench involving immiscible blends, the spinodal instability initially develops slowly and the associated l...

Electrospinning of liquid jets

A very thin liquid jets can be obtained using electric fields. The electrically-driven bending instability of the jet enormously increases the jet elongation path and effectively leads to its tinning by very large ratios and can be used to produce nanofibres. The mechanism of electro-thinning of liquid jets, discovered almost one century ago, is yet not fully understood. In the following study ...

Unconfined, melt edge electrospinning from multiple, spontaneous, self-organized polymer jets

Commercial grade polyethylene is melt electrospun from a thin film of unconfined molten polymer on a heated, electrically-grounded plate. Under the influence of an applied electric field, the melt spontaneously forms fingering perturbations at the plate edge which then evolve into emitting fiber-forming jets. Jet-to-jet spacing (∼5mm), which is dependent on the applied voltage amplitude, is in ...
