Marc Simonet

Yes both possible.

Gravity has limited effect on the spinning, high voltage/charge drives the fibers to the plate. You will find many people spinning upwards.

A. Greiner published melt-electrospinning in vacuum.

Nur Mufidatul Ula

the most influential in electrospinning is high voltage, so both of them are possible.

Matej Buzgo

Hello. Sure. It is possible.

Salih Abbas Habeeb

hi, I think it is not possible. because more difficult for an accumulation of nanofibers on the collector .

Sajad Sorayani

If you use a polymeric solution, electrospinning in a vacuum is impossible. but in melted polymer, it is possible and due to Laplace pressure you have a uniform nanofiber.
