Recent Developments in Electrospinning of Nanofibers and Nanofiber Yarns

摘要

Electrospinning is a simple,but efficient and versatile,technology to produce polymeric nanofibers for diverse applications in both textile and nontextile areas. In this paper,recent research developments in electrospinning and electrospun nanofibers,especially those from the Centre for Material and Fiber Innovation,Deakin University,are introduced. Important findings on needleless masselectrospinning and direct electrospinning of highlytwisted continuous nanofiber yarns are presented.
