Nanofibrous membrane through multi-needle electrospinning with multi-physical field coupling

The mass electrospinning is the key way to promote the industrial application of nanofibrous membrane, in which the multi-parameter controlling is the challenge for the multi-needle electrospinning. A constant temperature and humidity environment was introduced to studied the effect of process parameters on the ejection process of multi-needle electrospinning process. This article focused on the nanofiber deposition behaviors of multi-needle electrospinning from two different polymer solution of aqueous solution of poly (ethylene oxide) and the non-aqueous solution of polyvinylidene fluoride. We found that the same humidity has opposite effects on the deposition morphology of the water-soluble material PEO and the non-water-soluble material PVDF electrospun fiber. At the same time, we explored the effects of solution conductivity, solvent volatility, temperature and viscosity on electrospinning on water-insoluble and water-soluble materials. What this paper aim is to provide a process debugging reference for the batch preparation of nanofibers of different materials by multi-needle electrospinning.
