New Insight into Gap Electrospinning: Toward Meter-long Aligned Nanofibers
2019/11/27 21:44:58 admin
Gap electrospinning is a facile technique to produce aligned nanofibers useful for many applications, but its potential has not yet been fully exploited in nature, leading to the fiber length still limited to several tens of centimeters at present. In this work, we report a breakthrough in the production of well-aligned nanofibers with record length and efficiency. Using a suitable poly(vinylidene fluoride) solution and a pair of parallel plates that are substrate-free and negatively connected, we demonstrate the ease of this technique to prepare length-controllable aligned fibers in a wide range (<= 125 cm). Because of the crucial roles of both the jet whipping instability that continuously drives the jet to span across the static plates and the negative voltage on the plates that effectively attracts the positively charged jet, the jet can be made to move back and forth over the superlarge gap to form ultralong aligned nanofibers. By introducing a projection method, we also redefine fiber alignment in a broader sense. This work is believed to provide a new insight into the nature of gap electrospinning, which will greatly expand the versatility of this technique to create devices for a myriad of applications.
