Abstract
Electrospinning is a versatile technique that utilizes electrostatic forces to produce very thin and fine fibers of polymer ranging from submicron to nanometer scale. The technique can be applied to fibers of a various polymer types. Working parameters in the electrospinning are very important to understand not only the nature of electrospinning but also the conversion of polymer solutions into nanofibers through electrospinning. Those parameters in the electrospinning can be broadly divided into three parts. The first parameter is solution parameters such as molecular weight of polymer, concentration, viscosity, surface tension and conductivity/surface charge density of solution. The second parameter is process such as voltage, distance between the collector and the tip of the syringe, shape of collectors, flow rate. The third parameter is ambient parameters such as humidity and temperature. Fibers which made by electrospinning with working parameters are applied for various fields according to shape such as medical, cloth, photodiode, a sensor technology, catalyst, filtration, battery etc.
