Solvent fibre electrospun morphology

The surface morphology of electrospun fibres is affected by the polymer used, the voltage applied and the solvent, as well as the environmental conditions (e.g. humidity). The fibres may have either a smooth or a porous/... 

Although a random deposition of electrospun fibres gives a nonwoven fibre sttucture, the web morphology varies depending on the polymer properties and the operating conditions. Usually, the nanofibres are accumulated by a simple physical interaction and the fibres do not bond with each other. However, when the electrospinning distance is very short, the solvent has insufficient...
