Top photos show photographs of single fibres fabricated by melt electropinning, with collector speeds of a) 0.4 m min−1, b) 0.8 m min-1, c) 1 m min-1. Lower photo shows a 3D structure of NWPU (for Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, where this work took place) which was prepared in a direct-writing way using thirty layers of melt electrospinning.

Image of the Week: Direct writing using 3D printed, melt electrospun fibres

By Georgia Longstaff on October 16, 2017

This week’s Image of the Week comes from JPhysD article ‘Investigation of the effects of melt electrospinning parameters on the direct-writing fiber size using orthogonal design’, Feng-Li He et al 2017 J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. 50 425601. Melt electrospinning is an effective and simple… Read More ›
