PARTICLE-LIKE BEADS AND DAUGHTER JET CASCADES IN ELECTROSPINNING

Abstract

Nanofibers with high surface-to-volume ratio are of significant applications. This paper proposes a novel method for fabrication of particle-like beaded nanofibers and their daughter nanofibers, which are ejected from the surface of charged jets. Polyvinyl alcohol/ash solution is used in the electrospinning process.
