Several parameters influence the morphology and properties of electrospun nanofibers:
1. Solution Properties: The viscosity, conductivity, and surface tension of the polymer solution affect the electrospinning process and the resulting fiber diameter. 2. Applied Voltage: The strength of the electric field determines the formation and stability of the Taylor cone and the jet. 3. Flow Rate: The rate at which the polymer solution is fed to the needle tip influences the fiber diameter and uniformity. 4. Collector Type: The design and material of the collector can affect fiber alignment and morphology. 5. Distance Between Needle and Collector: This distance impacts the jet's flight time and the solidification process, affecting fiber properties.
