In this study, jet current and jet life in roller electrospinning of polyurethane (PU) were measured. The relationships between jet current and jet life and number of Taylor cones/m2 (NTC/m2), spinning performance (SP), and fiber properties (diameter, non-fibrous area) were analyzed. In addition, the effects of PU and tetraethylammonium bromide (TEAB) concentrations on jet current and jet life were determined. It was observed that jet current increases with PU and TEAB concentration, while jet life decreases. According to the results, NTC/m2 and spinning performance increase with jet current and decrease with jet life. Moreover, it was observed that jet current movement gives an idea about jet life, and it was also determined that there is a relationship between jet life and fiber morphology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
