while doing electrospinning fibre is getting attracted towards needle and making a connection of floating fibre from collector to needle which is interrupting in fibre deposition. Lease suggest its solution and explain the reason behind this
Dear Piyush Singh
During fabrication of nanofibers via electrospinning process, the voltage applied plays a very major role to ensure the fabrication of fibers having aligned, beadless and smooth surface. So, make ensure to vary the voltage and then find the best voltage during fabrication for a particular solution as different materials are electrospun at different voltages. I also suggest you to change the distance between the tip of the syringe and the collector, that also plays a major role.
I hope you will find you solution by doing this.
Have a happy research journey.
Hi
dear Piyush Singh ;
In fiber electrospinning, important factors such as solution viscosity, distance between drum and needle tip, and especially voltage are influential. I think you are looking for an answer to the question of how to optimize the Taylor cone. I suggest using the "Taylor cone optimization in electrospinning" keyword in researches. My regards
Piyush Singh The above given answers are correct. In brief electrospinning is affected by these factors:
1. Solution viscosity (which is also effected by the concentration of the solute)
2. distance between tip and grounded collector plate
3. Flow rate of the solution
4. Applied voltage
5. The spinneret dimensions
6. Ambient conditions
You need to optimize these conditions for best results!
Hope this helps! Good luck!
Thank you all !! for giving your valuable suggestions . I applied them to get favorable result and it worked well with some of the Polymer system, but still there are some polymer- metal ion systems for which it is not working. Even I tried to clean the electrospinning environment properly and then optimized the parameters but problem persists . I would be looking for more inputs regarding this.
