Effects of Structural Parameters on Nanofiber from a Multihole Electrospinning Setup

Article Preview

Abstract:

To meet a high production requirement and high quality of nanofiber, a new disgned multihole spinneret with equilateral hexagon hole array of is used in this paper. We study the effects of two structural parameters of the multihole system on fiber diameter and fiber mats. 3D electric fields were simulated to understand the effects of electric field distribution on electrospinning performance. This study shows that fine and uniform fibers, as well as concentrated and uniform fiber mat can be obtained by this multihole electrospinning system at a high production rate.
