Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé destiné à la production d'un tableau de fibres alignées par électrofilage, qui passe par la formation d'un champ électrostatique ciblé entre un corps possédant un orifice, maintenu à un premier potentiel électrique, et une contre-électrode, maintenue à un second potentiel électrique ; le module du second potentiel électrique est supérieur au module du premier potentiel électrique, ce qui introduit une solution d'un polymère dans un solvant volatil dans le champ électrostatique via l'orifice, de sorte que la solution de polymère passe de l'orifice à travers la contre-électrode sous la forme d'un jet ou d'un flux chargé, ledit flux ou jet possède une longueur de chemin dont au moins une partie est sensiblement droite. Un moyen de collecte est déposé dans le chemin du jet ou du flux à une place située dans sa partie sensiblement droite où le solvant s'est suffisamment évaporé pour que le jet ou le flux se solidifie et le moyen de collecte est déplacé par rapport au jet ou au flux pour déposer des fibres alignées sur le moyen de collecte.
