Droplet-Like Beads in the Surface of Nanofibers by Bubble-Electrospinning

Article Preview

Abstract:

Bubble electroblowing is employed by combining bubble-electrospinning with airflow to prepare silk fibroin nanofibers. The result indicated that not only nanofibers but also droplet-like beads were formed. Unlike traditional beads conjugating fibers, droplet-like beads accompanied fibers by sides. The average diameter of fibers is 572 nanometers while the special beads is 1909 nanometers.
