Electrospinning

Electrospinning is a process used to create extremely fine fibers from a liquid material, usually a polymer solution or melt. By applying a high-voltage electric field, the liquid is drawn out into a thin jet that stretches and dries as it travels through the air, forming nanometer- to micrometer-scale fibers. These fibers are collected on a surface to make materials like filters, wound dressings, or advanced textiles. Electrospinning allows precise control over fiber size and structure, enabling the production of materials with high surface area and unique properties useful in medical, environmental, and industrial applications.
