Found technological method of producing nanofibers.
Engineers from the University of North Carolina have modified a known method of manufacture of nanofibers, significantly increasing the speed of their output.
The process of forming fibers with a diameter of ~100-1 000 nm of polymer solutions is called elektrodrazenie. In the design of a typical setup for “spinning” stand out a pump that provides a continuous flow of liquid to a conducting needle, collecting plate and the high voltage source, generating a field between the needle tip and the plate. The solution is in contact with a metal needle, charged, and put into it the charges are accelerated by the electric field and involve in the movement of the surrounding substance, whereby the fluid is accelerated uniformly in the sky, in a thin stream. In the interelectrode gap, the solvent partially evaporates, and the stream turns into fiber, which is deposited on the plate and creates a porous layer.
