EFFECT ON TEMPERATURE ON SURFACE TENSION OF A BUBBLE AND HIERARCHICAL RUPTURED BUBBLES FOR NANOFIBER FABRICATION

Abstract

Polymer bubbles can be used to fabrication of nanofibers using the bubble lectrospinning, temperature is one of the most effective parameters to control the spinning process. Suitable choice of inner and outer temperatures results in a minimal surface tension. A bubble under electronic field will be broken to form daughter bubble cascades, which can be used for nanofiber fabrication.
