摘要
Electrospinning is a technique employed for preparing polymer fibers having diameters in the range of 10 μm–10 nm using high electrostatic field. In this letter, we report the formation of aligned polymer fibers, several centimeters in length, with separation between the fibers in the range of 5–100 μm. Achieving alignment is an important step toward the exploitation of these fibers in applications. We have employed about 4500 V and a separation distance of about 1–3 cm between the electrodes. Smaller distance between electrodes, we believe, provides better control on the formation of the fibers.
