Closer look at electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers made using the Fluidnatek LE-50. These PAN fibers have a standard deviation less than 50 nm as they were developed under tight environmental conditions. These results can be obtained all year round when temperature and relative humidity and tightly controlled with the Fluidnatek technology.
Electron micrograph of electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) made using the Fluidnatek LE-100. These fibers were collected on top of a polyethylene with carbon black substrate to allow for easy sample removal. PAN fibers are typically used for filtration, energy storage applications and to coat medical devices.
This SEM image shows electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) made in a Fluidnatek LE-50 at 1,000 rpm and at a translational needle speed of 20 mm/s and a low voltage of -4 kV. The combination of slow translational speed, along with the high rpm and low voltage, allowed the fibers to be collected with a peculiar wavy pattern with significant amount of fiber-fiber bonding that can increase mechanical properties of the final sample.
Microstructure of an electrospun nerve conduit made out of electrospun polylactic acid (PLA) made in the Fluidnatek LE-100. Characteristic features of this sample include the perpendicular aligned PLA fibers on the central portion of the sample (right side of the image) and randomly oriented PLA fibers surrounding the aligned fibers. The packing density of the aligned layers can be controlled with the Fluidnatek technology to fine tune final sample.
Electron micrograph of biodegradable beaded fibers made out of polycaprolactone (PCL) using the Fluidnatek LE-100 with a 5 mm outside diameter mandrel rotating at 200 rpm. This image was acquired by mixing the signal of the backscatter and secondary electron detectors in a 1:1 ratio. In the past, this type of fiber morphology was thought to be a disadvantage in the electrospinning field. These days the beaded fiber structure is used for drug encapsulation, coat medical devices, increase efficiency of air filtration, among others.
Electron micrograph of biodegradable porous polycaprolactone (PCL) with a diameter around 10 µm. This image shows a close up onto the porous structure of the electrospun PCL fibers. The nanoscale porosity was achieved thanks to the quick solvent evaporation during the electrospinning process.
Electron micrograph of electrosprayed polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles made with a Fluidnatek LE-50. These particles were made with a high boiling point and low vapor pressure solvent allowing them to obtain a smooth and rounded morphology. After collecting onto a liquid reservoir, the media was evaporated, and the PCL particles agglomerated for future experiments
