Steering Of Electrospun Nanofibers With Electrostatic Forces

Abstract
Electrospinning is a process of producing sub-micron fibers from polymer solutions utilizing electrostatic forces. In traditional electrospinning process, the resulting fibers form a pseudo-random pattern on the collector electrode. In this paper we present a novel method for controlling the fiber deposition location using dynamically-controller electrostatic forces. It has been shown that under proper amplitude and frequency excitation, the fibers can be deposited in elliptical and linear patterns with various dimensions. A mathematical model describing the deposition process is used to estimate important physical parameters governing the deposition process.
