Abstract

A modified bead structure nozzle for the electrospinning process was developed to improve the production efficiency of nanofibers and facilitate the cleaning of equipment. The effects of the flow rate, voltage and receiving distance on the number of jets were studied. The results indicate that the number of stable jets can be effectively controlled by spinning conditions. The rotating spinning phenomenon, which occurred during spinning, was subjected to force analysis. The COMSOL Multiphysics model was applied to simulate the electric field to show that the bead structured nozzle does not change the overall spinning electric field compared with traditional spinning. The results indicate that the bead structure nozzle can produce a stable multi-jet using a curved surface structure and improve the production efficiency of nanofibers. Compared with the high-voltage conditions of needleless spinning, the bead-type nozzle helps to save energy and facilitate cleaning, so as to avoid the production of waste in experimental research and industrial production.
