“…The whipping phenomenon in melt blowing process is thought to be responsible for fiber attenuation and can give rise to many of the defects in fibers such as nonuniform fiber diameter, broken fibers (flies), and polymer particles in the fiber mat (shots). 18,19 In this paper, the dynamics of fiber formation by GJF method is captured and studied using high speed video images of the liquid jets. Different scenarios are evaluated for continuous creation and stretching of liquid jets emanating from the GJF nozzles which turn polymer solutions into fibers of diameter from a few micrometer to a few hundreds nanometer.…”

In this work, the mechanism of fiber formation from polymer solutions under the action of gas jets in a process named gas jet fibers (GJF) method is studied. The GJF method relies on high velocity gas jet converting polymer solutions streaming from a nozzle into a liquid jet and then into fibers. Polymer nanofibers with diameter as low as 100 nm are continuously produced from polymer solutions. A series of interrelated phenomena including polymer jet initiation and stretching, flapping motion, bending instabilities, and concurrent solvent evaporation were found to influence fiber formation. Specifically, the behavior of the liquid jets, stretching rates, and the onset of the bending instabilities are revealed using high speed video photography. The results indicate that both the initial stretching from flapping and the extension from bending instabilities play important roles in fiber attenuation.

“…With the decrease in the diameter of fibers that is required to make nanofibers, the physiochemical and structural properties of materials are modified according to the corresponding bulk materials. Several methods have been developed to fabricate NFs, such as template method [6], self-assembly [7], phase separation [8], melt blowing [9], drawing [10] and electrospinning method [11]. Among them, electrospinning is a straightforward, cost-effective, and versatile technique that essentially employs a simple and economical setup to produce NFs in a variety of shapes and sizes.…”

Ceramic nanofibers (NFs) have recently been developed for advanced applications due to their unique properties. In this article, we review developments in electrospun ceramic NFs with regard to their fabrication process, properties, and applications. We find that surface activity of electrospun ceramic NFs is improved by post pyrolysis, hydrothermal, and carbothermal processes. Also, when combined with another surface modification methods, electrospun ceramic NFs result in the advancement of properties and widening of the application domains. With the decrease in diameter and length of a fiber, many properties of fibrous materials are modified; characteristics of such ceramic NFs are different from their wide and long (bulk) counterparts. In this article, electrospun ceramic NFs are reviewed with an emphasis on their applications as catalysts, membranes, sensors, biomaterials, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, energy harvesting systems, electric and magnetic parts, conductive wires, and wearable electronic textiles. Furthermore, properties of ceramic nanofibers, which enable the above applications, and techniques to characterize them are briefly outlined.

“…Nanofibers having extremely high specific surface area due to their small diameters can be produced from a wide range of polymers. Out of various methods used for fabricating the nanofibers such as template [2,3], self-assembly [4,5], phase separation [6], melt-blown [7], and electrospinning is currently the most promising and versatile technique to fabricate nanofibers on a large scale [8,9]. In electrospinning, the fibers diameter can be adjusted from nanometers to micrometers.…”
