Solution Pulling-Drawing Device
Electrospinning has shown great promise in the manufacturing of nanofibers, yet the scalability of electrospinning has posed a number of challenges. These challenges include: Low fiber output per spinneret since solvent often makes up 70% of the solution mass, depending on the polymer and solvent system. Clogging of spinneret due to the solidification...
