Effect of applied voltage on diameter and morphology of ultrafine fibers in bubble electrospinning
(592–598)Journal of Applied Polymer  Science 120 #1 (2011)
Liu et al used bubble electrospinning to produce porous nonwoven fibrous mats, of which the fiber diameter can range from nano- to microscales.  A high speed motion cameral showed the deformation of a charged bubble, from which multiple jets were ejected.  The average diameter of fibers increased with increasing applied voltage in bubble electrospinning, which is quite different from that in traditional electrospinning process under the similar conditions.  The production rate of bubble electrospinning was higher than that of the traditional electrospinning.  (RDC 1/10/2011)
