FLOW CONTROL OF POLYMER USING SYRINGE PUMP APPARATUS FOR ELECTROSPINNING NANOFIBER FABRICATION

Electrospinning is a nanofabrication technique. Theprocess of electrospinning is commonly used to produce
ultrafine fibers with nano meter-scale diameters. Through the use of a needle or spinneret, a polymer solution is
electrostatically charged in this method., forming a fine jet that is acceleratedtowards a collector. In this method, a
syringe pump with a stepper motor controller is used to provide the correct flow rate of the polymer solution to the
spinneret. Controlling the diameter and shape of the generated fibers depends heavily on the syringe pump. By
adjusting a number of variables, including the flow velocity, the voltage being used, and the separation between the
spinneret and the collector, the electrospinning process can be optimized to create fibers that possess specific
properties. Thus improves the capability of generating high-quality nanofibers.
