Effect of Process Parameters on Continuous Nanofiber Yarn Using Two Oppositely Charged Spinnerets

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanofiber nonwoven has been used in many fields due to the high surface area to volume ratio of the nanofibers and other extremely excellent properties. Nanofiber yarn, which is composed of long nanofiber with some twists for expanding nanofibers application, has been a challenging. A continuous nanofiber yarn was fabricated by a electrospinning technique with two oppositely charged spinnerets system in this work. The effect of process parameters such as applied voltage, the distance and the angle between the two spinnerets were examined in detail. The optimum parameters obtained included that the applied voltage was ±16kV, the distance and the angle between the two spinnerets were 8cm and 120o respectively. The nanofiber yarn has good potential applications in textile, medical, and biology.
