Description
Summary:Electrospinning is a fast developing technique that employs electrostatic repulsive forces to produce ultrafine fibres with application in fields like environment protection, medicine, sensors and many others. The characteristics of the polymer jet and the properties of the electrospun nanofibres are highly influenced by technological and environmental parameters. This paper offers a report on the main processing parameters that may influence the characteristics of the obtained nanofibres. The influence of flow rate, spinneret to collector distance and applied voltage on maximum fibre length, average fibre diameter, diameter uniformity and nanofibre quality is reviewed.
