ABSTRACT
An emerging technology of manufacturing of thin natural fibers is based on the principle of the electrospinning process. In conventional fiber spinning, the mechanical force is applied to the end of a jet, whereas in the electrospinning process the electric body forces act on an element of charged fluid. Electrospinning has emerged as a specialized processing technique for the formation of submicron fibers (typically between 100 nm and 1 µm in diameter), with high specific surface areas. Due to their high specific surface area, high porosity and small pore size, the unique fibers have been suggested for a wide range of applications.
