Abstract
Melt electrospinning is a fast-emerging technique for fibre formation. While the process is similar to solution electrospinning, the absence of solvents broadens the applications, avoiding the potential toxicity of solvent residues and enables the usage of non-dissolvable polymers. In this article, the influence of selected melt electrospinning process parameters (tip-to-collector distance, voltage, and melt temperature) on fibre diameter and diameter distribution was investigated. The screening experiments indicated that the lowest fibre diameter median was 2.19 μm. Based on the dependencies between each process parameter and median fibre diameter, the authors used response-surface plots to determine the optimal conditions to produce fibres with the desired fibre diameters. The lowest fibre diameters were obtained with the following process parameter input values: temperature, 348°C; voltage, 19 kV; and tip-to-collector distance, 3 cm. The obtained fibres indicated that the average value of fibre diameter medians decreased in comparison to the screening experiment and the median fibre diameter for the sample “Optim.” was 1.27 μm.
