Developed in collaboration with Dr. Frank K. Ko from University of British Columbia and
Dr. Yoshihiro Yamashita from The University of Shiga Prefecture in Japan.
The Nanofiber Electrospinning Unit (NEU) can produce nanofibers from 50nm to 800nm in diameter. The biggest feature of the NEU is its ability to use electrospinning to easily produce nanofibers using small amounts of polymer.
Currently, the use of nanofibers in the IT, Biotech, Healthcare and Fabrics industries is expected to increase dramatically, taking advantage of the increased surface area and fineness of materials and textiles made from nanofibers.
In the electrospinning process an electric field is generated between an oppositely charged polymer fluid and a collection screen, the electrode. A polymer solution is added to a glass syringe with a capillary tip. An electrode is placed in the solution with another connection made to a metal collector. As the power is increased, the charged polymer solution is attracted to the fiber collector. Once the voltage reaches a critical value, the charge overcomes the surface tension of the polymer cone formed on the capillary tip of the syringe and a jet of ultrafine fibers is produced. As the charged fibers are splayed, the solvent quickly evaporates and the fibers are accumulated randomly or aligned on the surface of the fiber collector.
