Description
Electrospinning is a high‑voltage technique that transforms polymer solutions into nanofibrous mats by ejecting a charged jet from a Taylor cone.
Technical
A high voltage (10–30 kV) applied to a protein solution at room temperature (20–25 °C) or up to 60 °C generates a stable Taylor cone. The charged jet undergoes rapid solvent evaporation, causing the polymer chains to solidify into continuous nanofibers. The process is governed by the interplay of electrostatic forces, solution viscosity, conductivity, and ambient temperature.
