Solution Pulling-Drawing Device
Description
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...
