A novel Electrospinning Procedure for the Production of Straight Aligned and Winded Fibers

Abstract

An electrospinning procedure allowing the spinning of a straight jet of polymer solution was developed. By using proper collector devices, it enables to collect winded and aligned fibers and to prepare polymeric constructs developing along the Z axis. The reported results are expected to provide basic understandings on which parameters are controlling the stability/instability of the process and implement new applications of electrospinning with specific reference to the preparation of well defined three-dimensional structures.
