ABSTRACT

218 219Vibration-electrospinning is utilized for producing finer nanofibers. Thus, in this chapter, a mathematical model, which is explained the physics behind this electrospinning process, will be discussed. On the other hand, the thermal factor is one of the critical factors for a polymer with high molten temperature and a thermo-electrohydrodynamics description of electrospinning is needed for better understanding of the process. So, in the following of this chapter, a thermo-electrohydrodynamic model of the vibration-electrospinning process which can be applied to numerical study will be investigated. This model can offer in-depth insight into the physical understanding of many complex phenomena which cannot be fully explained experimentally.
