Abstract:

In order to study the influence of electric field intensity and material of receiving device on the jet efficiency and jet distribution uniformity in needleless electrospinning, a linear slot melt differential electrospinning device was proposed. The effects of the maximum electric field intensity and ionization charge on the jet density and distribution uniformity were studied by changing the electrostatic voltage and material of receiving device. The results showed that the jets efficiency and uniformity increased with increasing the electric field intensity at the spinneret. When the local voltage at the receiving end is higher than that of nozzle end, the ionized ions showed macroscopically a movement towards the nozzle end, which would result in the loss of melt-jets, and even inhibition of the jet formation. Laying a paper with resistance of 2.7×105 Ω at the high-voltage collection can effectively redistribute the ionization charge in the spinning space uniformly, therefor eliminating the phenomenon of jet loss caused by local ion flow. Laying a sheet of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) with resistance greater than 1.0×1011 Ω at the high-voltage collection would increase the resistance of spinning circuit and result in the accumulation of charge on the PET. Therefore, the electric field strength at the nozzle end was weakened and jets efficiency decreased.

Key words: needleless electrospinning, high voltage electrospinning, electrode material, electric field intensity, ionized charge, jet efficiency
