Comparison bewteen the Needle and Roller Electrospinning of Polyvinylbutyral

الملخص EN

The effect of the concentration of polyvinylbutyral solution on the process throughput and fibre properties was studied in needle and roller electrospinning.

Whereas the polymer throughput is an optional independent parameter in needle electrospinning, it is a dependent parameter that is affected by both the material and process parameters in roller electrospinning.

Polymer throughput increases considerably with an increasing concentration of polymer solutions in roller electrospinning.

The properties of the nanofibers and the quality of the nanofiber layers were also studied.

Fibre diameters increase with an increasing concentration in both techniques.

Fibre diameters produced by needle electrospinning are smaller than those produced by roller electrospinning.

The distribution of fibre diameters is rather narrow and not significantly dependent on the concentration of solutions in either technique.
