Electrospinning: Practical Tips and Tricks

Hello everyone and thank you for being here. My name is Mahboubeh and I work on electrospinning in the lab since 2005. Here are some practical tips and tricks that you need to know before working with electrospinning device in the lab! Good luck :)

Thank you for your excellent presentation.I making carbon nanofibers (PAN 15%+DMF 85%) but after heating at 800 temp the fiber mat is breaking like powder i have to use it for supercapacitors how i can improve its flexibility?

[@besherghraibi9036]

you cover all of information about nanofibers ... very helpful when any body start with your video it will be easy to try and apply and create nanofibers ... thank you for your help you are amazing

Could you suggest a few polymers that could be used for an effective electrospinning process??

[@dr.mahboubehmaleki1307]

Choosing of the polymer, mainly depends on the application. But in case, you are only interested to check the process-ability, I suggest PAN that is cheap and very easy polymer to handle for electrospinning. Good luck 👍

I tried preparing PVP nanofibers by dissolving it in ethanol: water (4:6).
Spraying was proper but after spraying 4ml of the soltution, nanofibers that I obtained were not proper. I was unable to form them into a film or may as it should be. Do you have any suggestions for the same?

[@dr.mahboubehmaleki1307]

@@siddhilokhande3143 I suspect two reasons for that: 1) your solution isnot stable over time: you can check the change of color or viscosity over time or you can make a fresh solution and check if you have the same problem or not. 2) your polymeric solution is sensitive to relative humidity of the environment: if your electrospinning chamber doesnot have a controlled climate, you can try to use different salts to keep a constant RH.
Good luck.
