NANOSCALE MULTI-PHASE FLOW AND ITS APPLICATION TO CONTROL NANOFIBER DIAMETER

ABSTRACT
Nanoscale flows appear widely in nanofiber fabrication especially in electrospinning, where nanoscale jets are multi-phase fluid including solvents and additives. This paper shows the fiber morphology can be effectively controlled by adjusting the density of the multi-phase jet. TiO2 is used as an additive in this paper to produce PAN nanofibers by electrospinning, the results elucidate that uniform nanofiber can be obtained, and this phenomenon is explained theoretically.
