Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif de production d'une nanofibre, un cône de Taylor étant maintenu de manière stable afin d'améliorer l'efficacité de production. Une solution (25) obtenue par dissolution d'un polymère cellulosique dans un solvant est envoyée vers l'extérieur à partir de la pointe d'une buse (13) tout en maintenant la solution à une température constante dans la plage de 5 à 40 °C, formant ainsi un cône de Taylor (44) au niveau de l'orifice de pointe (13a). Une tension est appliquée entre la solution (25) et un collecteur (50) par une source d'alimentation électrique (62) pour éjecter une fibre sous la forme d'un jet de solution de filage (45) à partir du cône de Taylor (44) jusqu'au collecteur (50). Un gaz de refroidissement (43) fourni à travers un tuyau d'alimentation en gaz (20) et ayant une température constante dans la plage de 5 à 15 °C est envoyé vers la périphérie du cône de Taylor (44) à travers une fente d'alimentation en gaz (21), qui est l'espace entre la paroi du tuyau d'alimentation en gaz (20) et la surface périphérique externe de la buse (13). De ce fait, l'évaporation du solvant à partir du cône de Taylor (44) est évitée et l'apparition de gouttelettes due à la solidification de la surface et à la formation de peau résultante est évitée. Ainsi, des défaillances de production provoquées par les gouttelettes sont éliminées.
