Electrospinning functional nanoscale fibers: a perspective for the future

Over the past decade, electrospinning has grown from a small niche process to a widely used fiber formation technique. Applying a strong electric potential on a polymer solution or melt produces nanoscale fibers. These nanofibers form non‐woven textile mats, oriented fibrous bundles and even three‐dimensional structured scaffolds, all with large surface areas and high porosity. Major applications of electrospun membranes include tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery, sensing, separations, filtration, catalysis and nanowires. This perspective article highlights many recent advances in electrospun fibers for functional applications, with an emphasis on the advantages and proposed technologies for these non‐woven fibrous scaffolds.

Electrospinning of thermoplastic polyurethane microfibers and nanofibers from polymer solution and melt

Electrospinning technique was used to produce ultrafine fibers from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). A direct comparison between melt and solution electrospinning of TPU was provided for the evaluation of process–structure relationship. It was found that the deposition rate of melt electrospinning (0.6 g h^?1) is four times higher than that of solution electrospinning (0.125 g h^?1) for TPU under the same processing condition. However, the average fiber diameters of solution electrospun TPUs (220–280 nm) were much lower than those of melt electrospun TPUs (4–8 μm). The effect of processing variables including collection distance and electric field strength on the electrospun fiber diameter and morphology was also studied. The findings indicate that increasing the electric field strength yielded more electrical forces acting on polymer jet and resulted in a decrease in fiber diameter as a result of more fiber drawing in both solution and melt electrospun fibers. It was also demonstrated that increasing the collection distance led to an improvement in the solidification of melt electrospun fibers and thus less fused fibers were obtained. Finally, a close investigation of fiber structures revealed that melt electrospun TPU fibers had smooth surface, whereas solution electrospun TPU fibers showed high intensity of cracks on the fiber surface. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Alignment‐Improved and Diameter‐Reduced Electrospun Polymer Fibers via the Hot‐Stretching Process

Electrospinning is one of the most facile and versatile techniques to prepare polymer fibers ranging from micrometers to nanometers. Although several parameters can be tuned to control the sizes and morphologies of electrospun fibers, many obstacles are still encountered as the target sizes of the fibers are getting smaller; for example, the sizes of the fibers can be effectively reduced by lowering the polymer solution concentrations but beaded or beads‐on‐string structures are usually formed. To overcome such obstacles, here a simple technique to prepare alignment‐improved and diameter‐reduced fibers without bead formation by hot‐stretching electrospun fibers at temperatures higher than the glass transition temperatures of the polymers is developed. Polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) are both used in this work as model materials. The relationship between the draw ratio and diameter of the fibers is quantitatively analyzed, demonstrating the control of the fiber diameters. Moreover, higher degrees of alignment improvement at the middle part of the fibers than those at the end part is observed, which results in lower water contact angles at the middle part of the fibers. This work provides a useful post‐treatment technique to control the sizes and orientations of electrospun polymer fibers.     

Manufacturing technologies of polymeric nanofibres and nanofibre yarns

In the textile industry, although there are several methods for obtaining sub‐micro‐ or nanofibres, electrospinning perhaps is the most versatile process. Electrospinning has been recognized as a feasible technique for the fabrication of continuous polymeric nanofibre yarns desired in the textile industry. Various materials including polymers, composites, ceramics and metals have been successfully electrospun into nanofibres in recent years mostly in solution and some in the melt. Potential applications based on electrospun nanofibres as a new‐generation material in the textile industry will be realized if suitable nanofibre yarns become available to textile processes like weaving, knitting and embroidery. In this review, we present, from a textile viewpoint, a comprehensive overview of processing technologies of polymeric nanofibres in the textile industry; however, the emphasis here is focused on electrospinning. In particular, we choose to concentrate on a detailed account of research activities on the yarns and fabrics composed of electrospun nanofibres. Our discussion is concluded with some personal perspectives on the future challenges for the development and optimization of yarns based on electrospun nanofibres.

Polymer concentration, its molecular weight, electrical conductivity of solvents were found as dominant parameters to control the morphology. Based on the systematic parameter study, electrospun PLLA fibers as small as 9 nm were successfully produced.     

三氯甲烷／乙醇混合溶剂对聚乳酸电纺成形影响的研究

用一系列不同组分配比的三氯甲烷／乙醇混合溶剂分别配制质量百分比浓度为4％和6％的聚乳酸（PLA）溶液,然后在相同纺丝参数下进行电纺成形。结果发现,随着乙醇在混合溶剂中体积含量的增加,聚乳酸溶液可纺性逐渐变好,电纺纤维的宏观形态也随之改变。研究了聚乳酸的溶液性质,结果认为,溶液可纺性改善的原因是乙醇的加入增强了高分子链之间的缠结程度,同时提高了溶液的电导率;溶液表面张力和表观黏度的改变对可纺性的影响较小。     

Rapid CO2 capture from ambient air by sorbent-containing porous electrospun fibers made with the solvothermal polymer additive removal technique

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO₂ is an emerging technology in the battle against climate change. Many sorbent materials and different technologies such as moisture swing sorption have been explored for this application. However, developing efficient scaffolds to adopt promising sorbents with fast kinetics is challenging, and very limited effort has been reported to address this critical issue. In this work, the availability and kinetic uptake of CO₂ in sorbents embedded in various matrices are studied. Three scaffolds including a commercially available industrial film containing ion-exchange resin (IER), IER particles embedded in dense electrospun fibers, and IER particles embedded in porous electrospun fibers are compared, in which a solvothermal polymer additive removal technique is used to create porosity in porous fibers. A frequency response technique is developed to measure the uptake capacity, sorbent availability, and kinetic uptake rate. The porous fiber has 90% IER availability, while the dense fibers have 50% particle accessibility. The sorption half time for both electrospun fiber samples is 10 ± 3 min. Our experimental results demonstrate that electrospinning polymer/sorbent composites is a promising technology to facilitate the handleability of sorbent particles and to improve the sorption kinetics, in which the IER embedded in porous electrospun fibers shows the highest cycle capacity with an uptake rate of 1.4 mol CO₂ per gram-hour. © 2018 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 65: 214–220, 2019     

The influence of process parameters on the properties of electrospun PLLA yarns studied by the response surface methodology

Poly (l ‐lactide) (PLLA) fibrous yarns were prepared by electrospinning of polymer solutions in 2,2,2‐trifluoroethanol. Applying spinning from two oppositely charged needles the spontaneous formed triangle of fibers at a grounded substrate could be assembled into fibrous yarns using a device consisting of a take‐up roller and twister. The effect of processing parameters on the morphology, diameter and mechanical properties of PLLA yarns was investigated by the response surface methodology (RSM). This method allowed evaluating a quantitative relationship between polymer concentration, voltage, take‐up rate and distance between the needles' center and the take‐up unit on the properties of the electrospun fibers and yarns. It was found that at increasing concentrations up to 9 wt % uniform fibers were obtained with increasing mean diameters. Conversely, the fiber diameter decreased slightly when the applied voltage was increased. The take‐up rate had a significant influence on the yarn diameter, which increased as the take‐up rate decreased. The tensile strength and modulus of the yarns were correlated with these variables and it was found that the polymer concentration had the largest influence on the mechanical properties of the yarns. By applying the RSM, it was possible to obtain a relationship between processing parameters which are important in the fabrication of electrospun yarns. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

The morphology of electrospun polystyrene fibers

Electrospinning is a process of electrostatic fiber formation which uses electrical forces to produce polymer nanofibers from polymer solution. The electrospinning system consists of a syringe feeder system, a collector system, and a high power supplier. The important parameters in the morphology of electrospun polystyrene fibers are concentration, applied voltage, and solvent properties. Higher concentrations of the polymer solution form thicker fibers and fewer beads. When the concentration is 7 wt%, electrospun fibers have an average diameter of 340 nm, but as the concentration of PS increases to 17 wt%, the fiber diameter gradually thickens to 3,610 nm. The fiber morphology under different solvent mixture ratios and solvent mixtures has also been studied.
