Equipment develop and experiment study of the synchronization of electrospinning and electrospray

Abstract

Abstract High-performance multi-functional nanomaterials have broad applications in various industrial fields. The assembling of nanofibers and nanoparticles prepared by electrospinning and electrospray is a typical structure for the functional combination of multi-materials. However, due to different solution properties and processing parameters, as well as the simultaneous mutual interferences, the controlling of the synchronization of electrospinning and electrospray technology is in an urgent demand. In this paper, an equipment was developed to realize the synchronization of electrospinning and electrospray technology, and multi-functional nanomaterials combining nanofibers and nanoparticles was achieved. Then, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU)/grapheneoxide (GO) and poly(lactic acid) PLA/polyaniline (PANI) membrane was prepared based on the self-developed equipment, verifying the process of the synchronization of electrospinning and electrospray.
