Abstract
A multifunctional electrospinning system has been developed to fabricate diversified nanofibrous structures. It consists of a high voltage power supply, a syringe pump, and a cage like collector that are dominated via the controller by setting parameters from a touch screen. As the key component, speed, and diameter of the collector can be adjusted automatically according to predetermined requirement, which enhances the flexibility of the system. Well-aligned nanofiber array, nanofibrous membrane, and 3D nanofibrous structure were obtained successfully through the technique. This work should be of help to construct functional nanofibrous materials for promoting the development of electrospinning.Keywords
