Effect of solvent evaporation on fiber morphology in rotary jet spinning.
The bulk production of polymeric nanofibers is important for fabricating high-performance, nanoscale materials. Rotary jet spinning (RJS) enables the mass production of nanostructured fibers by centrifugal forces but may result in inconsistent surface morphologies. Because nanofiber performance is dependent upon its surface features, we asked which parameters must be optimized during production...

High-voltage electrical fields and low production rate limit electrospinning, the electrical charging of polymer liquids, as a means of nanofiber fabrication. Here, we show a facile method of fabrication of aligned three-dimensional nanofiber structures by utilizing high-speed, rotating polymer solution jets to extrude fibers. Termed rotary jet-spinning, fiber morphology, diameter, and web poro...
متن کاملA comparative study of jet formation and nanofiber alignment in electrospinning and electrocentrifugal spinning systems
Electrocentrifugal spinning is a recently developed spinning system whose performance is still under investigation by researchers. In this study the process of jet formation in electrocentrifugal spinning is explored and compared to the same process in electrospinning and centrifuge spinning. The results show that the incorporation of the electrical and the centrifugal forces in the electrocent...
متن کاملEngineering hybrid polymer-protein super-aligned nanofibers via rotary jet spinning.
Cellular microenvironments are important in coaxing cells to behave collectively as functional, structured tissues. Important cues in this microenvironment are the chemical, mechanical and spatial arrangement of the supporting matrix in the extracellular space. In engineered tissues, synthetic scaffolding provides many of these microenvironmental cues. Key requirements are that synthetic scaffo...
متن کاملEffect of the Distribution of Fiber Orientation on the Mechanical Properties of Silk Fibroin/Polycaprolactone Nanofiber Mats
In this study, Silk Fibroin (SF)/Polycaprolactone (PCL) composite nanofiber mats were fabricated using an electrostatic spinning technology employing different drum rotation speeds. The morphology and tensile performance of the resulting nanofiber mats were characterized using thermal field emission scanning electron microscopy, multi-layer image fusion technology, pore size distribution analys...
