Fabrication of Microfibrous Patterns via Electrospinning

Article Preview

Abstract:

Using patterned conductive and insulating collection devices, fibrous patterns from polyvinyl pyrrolidone were fabricated by electrospinning. Considering that the electrospun fibers tend to deposit along the direction of electric field line, when conductive patterned template is used as collector during electrospinning, the as-spun fibers tend to assemble onto the conductive grids, whereas the dropping fibers prefer to avoid insulation grid by concentrating toward the surface of the Al foil when an insulating grid based on Al foil is used as collector.
