NANOFIBER PRODUCTION APPARATUS, NANOFIBER PRODUCTION METHOD, AND NANOFIBER MOLDED BODY

摘要

This nanofiber production apparatus (10) is provided with: a starting material jetting means (11) that is provided with a conductive nozzle (13) for jetting a starting material liquid for nanofiber production; an electrode (14) that is arranged at a distance from the nozzle (13); a voltage generating means (101) for generating a voltage between the nozzle (13) and the electrode (14); an air flow jetting means (15) that is arranged so that an air flow can be jetted between the nozzle (13) and the electrode (14); and a collection means for collecting nanofibers. The voltage generating means (101) generates a voltage so that the nozzle (13) functions as a positive electrode and the electrode (14) functions as a negative electrode. The generally entire of a surface of the electrode (14), said surface facing the nozzle (13), is covered with a covering body (17) wherein a dielectric body is exposed in the surface. The dielectric body exposed in the surface has a thickness of 0.8 mm or more.
