A kind of gathering-device and method of taylor cone nozzle electrospinning oriented nanofibers
Technical field
The invention belongs to the electrostatic spinning technique field, particularly relate to a kind of gathering-device and method of taylor cone nozzle electrospinning oriented nanofibers.
Background technology
Electrostatic spinning is a kind of straightforward procedure of at present popular preparation nanofiber, with it possess that equipment is simple, raw material sources extensively, technical process do not destroy characteristics such as material body, received more and more researchers' concern.Electrostatic spinning nano fiber relies on characteristics such as its product fineness is thin, porosity is high, surface area is big, is widely used in fields such as filtering material, sensor, organizational project, medicament slow release.
Electrostatic spinning is that charged drop forms taylor cone under the effect of electric field force with on polymer solution or the melt band several thousand and even the high-pressure electrostatic of volts up to ten thousand, and when electric field force was enough big, electric field force can be bored point at taylor cone and overcome solution surface tension and form and spray thread.The refinement that under effects such as electric field force, viscosity resistance, surface tension, is stretched of charged polymer jet, simultaneously charged jet in electric field owing to existing surface charge to bend.Thread is solvent evaporation or curing in course of injection, finally drops on the receiving system, forms the nanofiber mats of similar nonwoven fabric.
Up to the present, most of electrostatic spinning nano fibers are to collect with the form of nonwoven fabric, and the arrangement of nanofiber is disorderly and unsystematic, thereby have limited its range of application.Yet we know according to traditional fiber and textile industry knowledge, continuous single nanofiber and vertically the bundles of nanofibers of orientation will have more widely and use.But the bundles of nanofibers or the single nanofiber that utilize electro-spinning to get orientations all are very difficult.Because spin in the process at static, the motion of polymer jet is very complicated, three-dimensional " whip is moving ", and the motion state of non-rectilinear, therefore domestic and international many researchers make the method for oriented nanofibers in effort research.Some scholar is based on the needle-based shower nozzle, and the round turntable or the framework that adopt the metal roller of rotation at a high speed or have sharp edges be as gathering-device, though the degree of orientation of the nanofiber of collecting increases, output is very low.
