Novel Technique for Mass Production of Electrospun Fibers

Electrospun fibers have so many advantages and can be used in many applications such as filtration, electronic sensor, and wound dressing. It can have diameter from tenth to hundredth nanometer in diameter which results in high mass to surface area ratio. Disadvantage of the electrospinning process is low mass production rate. Commercial high mass production rate designs are expensive and complex. Simple and inexpensive designs for laboratory used are required. Three concepts for increasing mass production rate of electrospinning process were proposed. Innovative designs were used to implement those concepts. Electrospun fibers from 200 to 800 nanometer in diameter were created from simple designs with production rate higher than single nozzle electrospinning jet
