Electrospinning Unit

Electrospinning method makes use of an applied voltage to form very fine fibers (typically on micro or nano scale) from a liquid. Electrospinning shares characteristics of both electrospraying and conventional solution dry spinning of fibers. The process does not require the use of coagulation chemistry or high temperatures to produce solid threads from solution. This makes the process particularly suited to the production of fibers using large and complex molecules.
