Rotating cylinder
1 The simplest set up
High rotation speed – thousands rotations per
minute
The orientation of fibers in one direction is equal
deposition rate of fibers, and the rotational speed
of the cylinder. The smaller cylinder speed =
random fiber orientation, greater speed cylinder,
the fibers can be broken.

 Production of bicomponent
fibers – core-sheath by
electrospinning

Schematic illustration of the setup for electro-spun fibers having core/sheath structure. (a) The spinneret was manufactured from two coaxial capillaries, through
which healing agent (core) and polymer solution(sheath) were simultaneously ejected to form a continuous coaxial jet. Two different SEM images of healing
agent encapsulated fibrous structures; (b) beads on string and (c) smooth tube, respectively. Inset figure of Fig. (b) and (c) is schematic of corresponding
core/sheath structures, respectively. http://braungroup.beckman.illinois.edu/JeongHoPark.html

The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of the electrospun HSPET/PTT

nanofibers shown in the graphic indicates that the as-spun fibers have curly and
helically crimped fiber morphologies. The average fiber diameter of the HSPET/PTT
nanofiber is 800 nm, and the diameter of helix is about 1–1.5 μm, simultaneously the
thread pitch of the helical structure is only about 1.5 μm that the whole fiber present a
morphology of tight spring.
