A BELT-LIKE SUPERFINE FILM FABRICATED BY THE BUBBLE-ELECTROSPINNING

Abstract

A belt-like superfine film is prepared via the bubble-electrospinning from an aqueous silk fibroin solution. The morphology of film structures is characterized by the scanning electron microscope. The average width of the film is about one micrometer and the thickness is about 377 nanometers.
