Review on bubble-electrospinning technology and set-ups

This paper introduces a technology named bubble electrospinning and its development to provide theoretical basus for subsequent research. A complete review on bubble-electrospinning including its mechanism,influence of spinning parameters( including voltage,collector distance,flow rate,concentration /viscosity,polymer relative molecular weight,conductivity and surface tension) on the spinning process and the spinning principles and advantages of different set-ups is made to elucidate the main properties and advantages of the technology. A novel technology,blown bubble spinning,proposed to fabricate nanofibers by using blowing air instead of the high voltage electrostatic action,is safer,simpler and more energy saving. According to research,bubble electrospinning has advantages of simple equipment fabrication,easy operation,low cost,high production efficiency and wide application,and can be generalized and used for the industrial production.
