ABSTRACT
Recently, it was demonstrated that electrospinning can produce superfine fiber ranging from micrometer to nanometer using an electric field force. In the electrospinning process, a strong electric field is applied between polymer solution contained in a syringe with a capillary tip and grounded collector. When the electric field overcomes the surface tension force, the charged polymer solution forms a liquid jet and travels towards collection plate. As the jet travels through the air, the solvent evaporates and dry fibers deposits on the surface of a collector [1-4].
