Nanofiber quality variables

The principle variables that govern nanofiber quality (or determine if electrospinning will occur at aU) are the average molecular weight of the polymer, the nature of the solvent, and the magnitude of the electric field used to induce electrospinning. [Pg.56]

Effect of polarity of electrodes Supaphol et al. (2005a) and other key process variables on nanofiber quality studied. [Pg.300]

Effect of process variables on nanofiber quality studied. [Pg.307]

Even within the concentration regime that obtains electrospinning, the quality of nanofibers electrospun can be quite variable. Koski et al. (2004), electrospinning poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in aqueous solution at... [Pg.60]

Effect of process variables including solvent quality on the quality of electrospun nanofibers, investigated. [Pg.300]

Clearly, an online method of analysis is needed to provide immediate feedbaek from changing process variables that includes measurement of number concentration, size, and purity. Such a method would result in faster optimization of a particular production process. TEM analysis could then be used to confirm the online measurements and to analyze quantities such as structure and composition. In addition, this method could also be valuable for online air quality measurements related to nanofibers and nanotubes. [Pg.213]
