Fabrication of Micro Yarn Composed of Nanofibers by Blown Bubble Spinning

Abstract:

Recent years, much attention has been paid to approaches for directly producing nanofibers along with a rising trend for their exploration and application in wide fields. Considering the melt blowing and bubble-electrospinning, a novel method called blown bubble-spinning was introduced by forcing airflow onto the polymer bubble. In this paper, a special hierarchical structure has demonstrated the ability to form micro yarn composed of nanofibers in this way. The resulting yarn is about 23 micrometers while the nanofibers 376 nanometers.
