Effect of solvent evaporation on diameter and deposition of nanofibrous scaffold in electrospinning
To achieve the controllable manufacturing of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds
the effects of evaporation rates of different solvents on the fiber diameters and deposition configurations of electrospun nanofibers were investigated experimentally. Firstly
polycaprolactone (PCL) was respectively dissolved in various solvents with different evaporation rates and the electrospun was performed under applied voltage of 15 kV and a receiving distance of 12 cm. Then
the diameters and deposited areas of nanofibers were measured by a scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore
relational expressions between the average diameter and the solvent evaporation rate
the deposited area and the solvent evaporation rate were established by using least square method. The results show that the average diameter of nanofibers increases from 98 nm( with the standard deviation 21.14 nm) to 205 nm (with the standard deviation 38.83 nm) and the deposited areas of electrospun nanofiber webs decrease from 143 cm

with increasing solvent evaporation rates. The mean diameter of nanofiners has a proportion relation with solvent evaporation rate of

and the relation of evaporation rate and deposition area is

. The experimental results and relational expressions can offer the valuable information for guiding the controllable manufacturing of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds.
