Electrospun Nanofibers: “Synthesis and Parametric Investigation

Nanotechnology has attracted the attention of researchers due to its surface area-to-volume ratio. The addition of any nanomaterials in form of nanoparticles fibers tubes flakes etc has enhanced the material properties. Here we have the parameters which affect the dimension and properties of the nanofiber. The polymer nanofibers can be produced by using various processing techniques like drawing self-assembly template synthesis phase separation electrospinning etc. Out of these processing techniques electrospinning is the best way to produce a polymer nanofiber with a small diameter (10 nm to 1500nm). Due to the large length-to-diameter ratio and small mass-to-volume ratio these nano-size fibers have many applications in industry.The parameters affecting fiber diameter and properties can be varied by adjusting the concentration of the polymer solution distance from tip to the collector applied electric field flow rate viscosity surface tension the electrical conductivity of a solution and temperature of the solution Ionic salt addition And Molecular weight etc.
