With the double-nozzle NFES process, the uncertainty is more suitable to investigate than the multi-nozzle NFES and also meet higher liquid throughput requirement than conventional electrospinning. Moreover, the key point is to control the deposition characteristics of double-nozzle NFES under the interaction of the nozzles. This paper simulates the change in electric field intensity with the change of nozzle length and voltage. The experiment shows that the deposition distance becomes smaller when needle length increases, however, the influence of voltage is opposite in certain range. According to the study above, the results could be the guidance of the multi-nozzles NEFS in manufacturing process, and also can illustrate the force distribution of the jet with further modification.
There are massive reports about near-field electrospinning (NFES) in the literature and the NFES has great tendency for scientific and industrial applications. It is important to improve the machining efficiency of electrospinning. Through the study of the multi-nozzle near-field electrospinning, a new method by adjusting the electrode-to-collector distance (E-C-D) is presented in this paper to make sure the jets with a straight line. The method is divided into two steps: (1) to adjust the E-C-D larger to get the jet at each nozzle, (2) to make the E-C-D smaller enough to get straight jets. Moreover, this paper simulates the electric field density which helps to provide a further understanding on the process of NFES. The experimental results contribute to making a better control on the jets in NFES.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
