The Effects of Electric Field Dynamics on the Quality of Large-Area Nanofibrous Layers

Original language description

This paper presents technological modifications of an electrostatic spinning device, which significantly increase the thickness homogeneity (i.e., quality) of produced layers by creating auxiliary dynamic electric fields in the vicinity of the spinning and collector electrodes. A moving body was installed above the needleless spinning electrode, which destabilized the standing wave occurring on the free surface of the spinning solution. Furthermore, an endless belt design was used for the collector electrode instead of a roll-to-roll design, which made it possible to substantially increase the surface speed of the substrate and, therefore, the dynamics of the electric field at the place of collection of the fibers being spun. As a result, the coefficient of variation of the area weight of 912 samples cut out from the deposited nanofibrous layer, which was (1000 x 500) mm(2) in size and had an average area weight of (17.2 +/- 0.8) g/m(2), was less than 4.5%. These results were obtained only when the dynamics of both the spinning and collector electrodes were increased at the same time. These modifications resulted in a significant increase in the quality of deposited nanofibrous layers up to the standard required for their use in pharmaceutical applications.
