CONTROLLED ELECTROSPINNING OF FIBERS

摘要

An electrospinning apparatus and method for spinning a polymer fiber from a fluid that comprises a polymer, comprises: a plurality of collectors; a jet supply device delivering a quantity of fluid; at least one collector of the plurality of collectors in electrical communication with the jet supply device during at least one time duration, the at least one collector and the jet supply device adapted to form an electric field therebetween and draw the quantity of fluid from the jet supply device toward the at least one collector and form the polymer fiber at the at least one collector device during the at least one time duration; a controller controlling sequence and the at least one time duration of which of each the at least one collector of the plurality of collectors is in electrical communication with the jet supply device at least once during a time period.
