EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE ON THE MORPHOLOGY OF BUBBLE-ELECTROSPUN NANOFIBERS

Abstract

The morphology and microstructures of poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) nanofibers produced by bubble-electrospinning are investigated experimentally. It is shown that the temperature predominantly affect the average diameters of the formed nanofibers. The smooth surface and controllable diameters of nanofibers are essential for their applications in different temperature environment.
