Control of Nanofibers Production Process Through Electrospinning

The electrospinning technological process occurs under the influence of a plurality of factors chosen by the specialists for the evaluation of the correlation between the specific result as the effect of the process (nanofibers with special destinations) and its causes. The application of the statistic control in the electrospinning process is a premise for the production of highly uniform nanofibers with pre-established characteristics. The utilization of statistic control permits the evaluation of the state of static and dynamic stability, with significant implications in nanofibers quality. The polyetherimide-based nanofibers were obtained with modular electrospinning equipment, using as solvents dimethylacetamide, tetrahydrofuran and dimethyl sulfoxide. The values of fibers diameters were statistically processed, with the aim to improve the processing quality and to reduce the variability of technological electrospinning parameters.
