- Chapter 13. Future Perspectives on ElectrospinningPublication . Mitchell, Geoffrey R.; Sperrin, MalcolmAlthough the origins of electrospinning date back over 100 years, it is intense activity in the last 21 years which has led to considerable improvements in our knowledge of electrospinning and the broad-ranging opportunities for commercial application. The recent development of melt electrospinning provides a new additive manufacturing tool, providing routes to structures from nanometres to millimetres. Here, we consider where this rollercoaster of a topic is heading and its future prospects.
- Chapter 8: Structure Development in Electrospun FibresPublication . Mitchell, Geoffrey R.; Mohan, Saeed D.; Davis, Fred J.; Ahn, Kyung-Hwa; Al-Azab, Mohamed; El Hadi, Ahmed; Elliott, Delyth; Kariduraganavar, Mahadevappa Y.; Nagarajan, Anitha; Nazhipkyzy, Meruyert; Geoffrey R MitchellElectrospinning is a process which transforms polymer solutions in to solid fibres in ∼25 ms. In the case of an amorphous polymer, the resultant molecular organisation may not be so different from that of the solution. However, polymers are rich in different types of ordering processes and these may be encountered during electrospinning. In many areas of polymer processing, the processing procedures can have a significant impact on the structure and hence properties of the final product as the selection of the chemical configuration
- IntroductionPublication . Davis, Fred J.; Mohan, Saeed D.; Ibraheem, Muaathe A.This chapter provides a basic introduction to the topics described in this book. The principles of electrospinning, in terms of the influence of an electric field on a droplet of polymer melt or solution is introduced, and a review of some of the experimental parameters, and their relationship towards the properties of the fibres produced is given. A brief summary of the types of materials that can be electrospun is included, together with methods for their characterisation. Finally, a short review of potential applications for electrospun fibres is discussed.
