Electro Spun Fibres And Their Applications

摘要

Conventional fibre spinning techniques like wet spinning, dry spinning and gel spinning are capable of producing fibres down to micrometer range. Electrospinning is a drawing process based on electrostatic interaction, capable of producing continuous fibres of uniform diameter of less than 100nm. The precursors of the fibres are either polymer melt or solution. Usually the fibres are collected as highly porous nonwoven mats. Process parameters play significant role on the morphology of the fibre produced. Uses of electrospun fibres are in aerosol filtration, tissue engineering, wearable sensors etc. This paper discusses the method of preparation, influence of process variables, properties, and applications.
