NANOFIBERS, AND APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR FABRICATING NANOFIBERS BY REACTIVE ELECTROSPINNING

摘要

Apparatus and process for making nanofibers by reactive electrospinning including an in-line mixer (6), an in-line chemical reactor (10), coil heaters (11), an electrospinning capillary (12) and a sheath gas tube (13). The reactants are separately introduced through ports (16, 17) and mixed in the mixer (6). The mixture (7) undergoes chemical reaction in the reactor (10) and commences electrospinning at an outlet (8) of the capillary (12) with the assistance of a sheath gas (19) introduced through a port (18).
