PROCESS FOR CONTROLLING THE MANUFACTURE OF ELECTROSPUN FIBER MORPHOLOGY

摘要

A apparatus and process of forming electrospun fibers including the steps of supplying a substantially homogeneous mixture of a solvent and a polymer which can be formed into an electrospun fiber; electrospinning the polymer into a fiber in an enclosed chamber; monitoring the humidity in said chamber; and changing the partial pressure of solvent evaporation to thereby modify the morphology of the thus formed fibers.
