Needle spinning and needle-free spinning are the two main methods of electrospinning. Needle spinning is the use of the electrostatic force generated by the tip of the needle to quickly evaporate the solvent in the spinning solution to form nanofibers.
1. High output: The output of needle spinning is higher, up to tens to hundreds of meters per hour.
2. Low equipment cost: The cost of needle spinning equipment is low, suitable for small and medium-sized production.
1. Fiber topography is not uniform: the fiber topography of needle spinning is not uniform, easy to appear fiber fracture, accumulation and other problems.
2. Low fiber strength: The strength of needle-spun fibers is low and not suitable for applications with high strength requirements.
Needle-free spinning is a technology that uses the electrostatic force generated by the nozzle to vaporize the solvent in the spinning solution quickly and form nanofibers.
1. Uniform fiber appearance: The fiber appearance of needle-free spinning is uniform, and the size, shape and structure of the fiber can be controlled.
2. High fiber strength: The fiber strength of needle-free spinning is high, which can meet the application of high strength requirements.
1. Low output: The output of needle-free spinning is low, up to several meters to tens of meters per hour.
2. High equipment cost: The cost of needle-free spinning equipment is high, suitable for large-scale production.
When selecting electrospinning large-scale production equipment, the following factors need to be considered:
Such as output requirements, fiber performance requirements, investment costs, etc., the specific choice of equipment, but also need to be considered according to your actual needs, you need to find a professional team to assist you to choose, after all, professional people do professional things. If you have these needs, you can find MBRT Nanofiberlabs team to help you provide technical support and equipment support, as well as high-end technical information for mass production.

In recent years, great breakthroughs have been made in the macro preparation of electrospinning nanofibers, mainly including the following aspects:
Conventional electrospinning techniques typically use only a single nozzle, which limits the yield of nanofibers. Multi-nozzle electrospinning technology can use multiple nozzles at the same time, thereby greatly increasing the yield of nanofibers. At present, electrostatic spinning devices with dozens or even hundreds of nozzles have been developed, which can achieve continuous and large-scale production of nanofibers.
Rotary cylinder electrospinning technology is a new type of electrospinning technology, which uses a high-speed rotating cylinder to collect nanofibers. This technique can produce a uniform and continuous nanofiber film, and can realize the macro preparation of nanofibers.
Air assisted electrospinning technology uses air to assist the formation and collection of nanofibers. This technique can improve the yield and uniformity of nanofibers, and can prepare nanofibers with different morphologies and structures.
Electrospinning-melt-blown composite technology combines electrospinning technology with melt-blown technology to prepare nanofiber membranes with bilayer structure. This nanofiber membrane has excellent filtration properties and mechanical properties, making it ideal for use in fields such as air filtration and protective clothing.
In addition, there are many other technologies that are also being developed to improve the yield and quality of electrospun nanofibers. For example: plasma assisted electrospinning technology, ultrasonic assisted electrospinning technology, electric field induced electrospinning technology.

Main content: In this study, a high-elastic zein microfiber smart scaffold with a three-layer structure was designed for motion tracking in the unpacked state. By introducing a highly reactive epoxy resin, a tightly cross-linked protein network is effectively established and provides a wide range of stretsibility (360% stretch range) and ultra-high elasticity (99.91% recovery) to the fiber substrate in the wet state. A silver conductive sensing layer was constructed on the protein fibers with the help of a polydopamine bonding layer, resulting in a scaffold with wide strain sensing range (264%), high sensitivity (measurement factor up to 210.55), short response time (<70 ms), reliable cyclic stability, and long service life (up to 30 days). The unpackaged smart scaffold can not only support cell growth and accelerate wound healing, but also track skin and body movement, triggering an alarm once the wound is excessively deformed.

Electrospinning nanofiber films have attracted great interest due to their excellent waterproof and breathable properties, which stem from the presence of interconnected and hydrophobic channels in these reinforced textiles. These unique properties give them great potential in various fields, including the application of medical dressings, masks and protective clothing. However, they have also raised concerns about their durability, impaired water resistance, limited air permeability, inadequate mechanical strength, and high production costs. In addition, the manufacturing process of electrospinning waterproof breathable film (WBM) can have an adverse impact on the environment, hence the need for improved sustainability and ecological compatibility.
Based on this, Professor Ding Bin's team at Donghua University gave a comprehensive overview of the potential and challenges of electrospinning waterproof breathable membranes, as well as improvement strategies and future research directions. Related content under the title "Advancements in Electrospun Nanofibrous Membranes for Improved Waterproofing and Breathability", Published in the journal 《Macromolecular Materials and Engineering》.
Key points of this article:
1. The preparation method, characterization technique and performance evaluation method of electrospinning nanofiber film are introduced in this paper.

3. In addition, the environmental impact and sustainability problems in the preparation of electrospinning nanofiber film are also discussed, and corresponding solutions are proposed.
These features include high porosity, customizable porous structure, and modifiable wetting characteristics. These internally interconnected and hydrophobic channels allow water vapor and air to diffuse from the interior to the external environment, while effectively repelling water molecules and preventing water from penetrating from external sources. The holes inside the membrane material are designed to be small enough to prevent the penetration of liquid water droplets, but large enough to facilitate the transport of water vapor. These properties make electrostatic spinning nanofiber membranes ideal for use in waterproof, breathable clothing, footwear, and other products.
1. Fine-tuning of parameters: Fine-tuning of the structural parameters of the membrane, such as pore size, porosity and thickness, is essential to achieve a balance between air permeability and waterproof performance. This can be achieved by optimizing the manufacturing process and controlling the formation and conditions of the membrane to achieve a uniform, dense and defect-free membrane structure.
2. Multi-component spinning: Multi-component spinning includes the use of two or more polymers to prepare a composite film with enhanced properties. This technology allows for a combination of different materials to achieve a balance between water resistance and air permeability.
3. Surface modification: Surface modification includes the use of chemical or physical treatment to change the surface characteristics of the film. This technology can improve the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of the film, thus improving the water resistance or air permeability of the film.
4. Nanoparticle incorporation: Nanoparticle incorporation of the film can improve its mechanical strength, durability and waterproof performance.
5. Porous membrane structure: porous membrane structure, honeycomb membrane structure, multi-layer composite membrane can enhance the waterproof and breathable performance.

Electrospinning nanofibers have excellent properties in battery electrodes and diaphragm materials because of their large specific surface area, high porosity and controllable thickness. Therefore, electrospinning nanofibers have a wide range of applications in batteries field.
However, nanofibers in electrode materials often use sulfur and transition metal compounds. If the nanofiber is prepared in an open environment, oxidation, hydrolysis and other reactions will occur, which will ultimately affect the electrochemical properties of the product, but also make the dose-effect relationship of the material difficult to be accurate, and the experimental data fluctuate greatly. Therefore, when preparing such materials, the water oxygen content of the spinning space is very strict.
1. The machine needs to effectively prevent the diffusion of H2O, O2, N2 molecules in the air and the diffusion of toxic molecules out of the glove box, low leakage rate. Water oxygen concentration should reach 0.01PPM.
2. Low water oxygen content, large gas adsorption, long regeneration interval.
3. Water oxygen detection is accurate.
The MBRT Nanofiberlabs electrospinning machine E04S can prepare nanofibers in the absence of water and oxygen.

Traditional wound dressings cannot keep the wound moist, do not promote wound healing, and cause secondary injury to the wound when changing the dressing. As a result, its performance is often poor. Electrostatic spinning nanofibers used in wound dressings have good absorptive properties, breathability and comfort, which not only help to promote wound healing, but also prevent infection. This content combs 5 research papers on electrospinning nanofibers in wound dressings to help you better understand their application progress.
Main content: In this study, the fiber membrane with a unique "core/sheath" structure was prepared by coaxial electrospinning. The shell layer was composed of nano-copper peroxide (CuO2), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) and polycaprolactone (PCL), and the core layer was composed of PCL. When exposed to the moist internal environment of the wound, PVP in the nuclear layer gradually decomposes and releases embedded nano-Cuo2. Therefore, under the induction of weakly acidic wound microenvironment such as diabetes and bacterial infection, H2O2 and Cu2+ ions are released through chemical kinetic reactions, and then Fenton-like reactions are triggered to produce ·OH for antibacterial, and copper ion release is followed by inhibition of inflammation and promotion of angiogenesis. At the same time, the dissolution of PVP forms a unique nanogroove surface pattern on the nanofibers, which provides the required cell guidance function for accelerating skin regeneration.

Main content: Inspired by the radial branching structure of the Nymphaeaceae plant, the researchers proposed a programmable strategy to construct radially assembly nanofiber patches with rapid deployment characteristics and strong anti-fracture bearing capacity, which could promote their application in joint trauma during limb movement. In addition, this patch will be endowed with "on-demand" anti-inflammatory drug delivery in the inflammatory microenvironment due to matrix metalloprotease MMP-9 triggering GelMA coating degradation, while stromal cell-derived factor (SDF1α) "center-peripheral" gradient changes can stimulate MSC recruitment to the lesion site. These properties make radially assembled nanofiber patches a promising material for wound healing and other regenerative medicine applications.

Main content: Multi-functional electrospun fiber membranes (EFMs) with antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, hemostatic and wound exudate absorption properties were constructed by loading Taxifolin (TAX) onto cyclodextrin metal-organic frameworks (CD-MOFs) and then onto polycaprolactone (PCL) scaffolds via electrospinning. The resulting EFM has a hydrophilic surface, which facilitates wound adhesion and enhances hemostasis. By collecting wound exudate, the cascade release of TAX is triggered to reduce wound bacterial infection and reduce the expression of inflammatory factors. This also promotes collagen deposition, angiogenesis and contraction and migration of myofibroblasts, and promotes remodeling and repair of wound tissue.

Main content: We used electrospinning and fiber fracture composite technology to prepare drug-resistant bacterial chitosan/cellulose nanofiber/tannic acid (CS/CNF/TA) hydrogels with good wound treatment ability. The antibacterial performance of the hydrogel against drug-resistant bacteria was superior to 99.9 %. The hydrogel is rich in catechol groups, which can adhere to the surface of the tissue and avoid the hydrogel falling off during movement. In addition, it shows extraordinary hemostatic ability during the bleeding stage of the wound and regulates the wound microenvironment by absorbing water and moisturizing. In addition, CS/CNF/TA also promoted the regeneration of blood vessels and follicles and accelerated the healing of infected wound tissue, with a healing rate of over 95% over a 14-day period.

Chemical fiber textiles often appear the phenomenon of floating silk, there are many reasons, mainly including the following aspects:
Many chemical fiber textiles will appear after a period of use, which is caused by the transparency of the fiber. When the fibers are transparent, the phenomenon of beading occurs. This situation usually appears in the use of a longer time of chemical fiber textiles.
High humidity is also one of the reasons for the phenomenon of floating silk in chemical fiber textiles. This is because the moisture in the air will be inhaled and stored by the textile, resulting in reduced friction between the fibers and the formation of electrostatic force between the fibers, resulting in the phenomenon of floating silk.
Chemical fiber textiles produce static electricity when rubbed, so they often float silk. This is due to the enhancement of electrostatic force between the fibers, mainly due to friction between the fibers.
In response to the above problems, we can take the following measures to reduce the phenomenon of chemical fiber spinning.
Because high humidity can lead to increased electrostatic force between fibers, indoor humidity can be reduced to reduce the phenomenon of silk drift. You can ventilate the room well or use equipment such as humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
In the manufacture of chemical fiber textiles, the choice of high-quality yarn is also very important. High quality yarn strength, strong durability, can reduce the occurrence of silk drift phenomenon.
The correct cleaning of chemical fiber textiles is also important, you can choose to use neutral detergent for cleaning, so as not to cause damage to the yarn.
Chemical fiber textiles usually have the phenomenon of floating silk, which is caused by a variety of reasons, such as fiber transparency, high humidity and static electricity. However, we can reduce the occurrence of filaments with suitable solutions, such as reducing indoor humidity, choosing high-quality yarn and proper cleaning.

Figure Electrospinning principle diagram
Electrospinning technology is a one-dimensional nanofiber preparation technology. Its advantages are simple manufacturing device, low spinning cost, many types of spinnable polymers, and controllable spinning process. The basic principle is: in a high-voltage electrostatic field, when the electric field force of the charged polymer solution or melt droplet is greater than the surface tension, the polymer is drawn and refined under the action of the electric field, and this process is accompanied by solvent evaporates and the fibers solidify to form nanofibers, which are recently deposited on the receiving device. Electrospun nanofibers, as a kind of nanomaterials, have the characteristics of high specific surface area, large aspect ratio and high porosity. They are used in filtration separation (air filtration, water filtration, cell filtration, oil-water separation), biomedicine (tissue engineering, Drug release, wound repair), nanocatalysis (photocatalysis, electrode catalysis, enzyme catalysis, precious metal catalysis), sensors (vibration frequency sensor, resistance sensor, photoelectric sensor, optical sensor, ampere sensor), new energy (dye-sensitized solar energy) Battery photoanode materials and electrolyte materials, lithium ion battery diaphragm and electrode materials), nano luminescent materials (oxide semiconductor luminescent materials, sulfide semiconductor luminescent materials, rare earth element doped luminescent materials, organic luminescent materials), magnetic materials (ferrite Bulk nanofiber magnetic materials, metal nanofiber magnetic materials, inorganic/polymer composite nanofiber magnetic materials), composite reinforcement materials, food packaging materials, cosmetic materials (beauty masks), sound-absorbing materials, high-temperature thermal insulation materials (inorganic ceramic nanofibers) ), nano-carbon fiber and other fields, have broad application prospects.
Figure Nanoscience and technology
Nanoscience and technology is the study of the properties and interactions of substances (including atoms and molecules) on the nanometer (1nm=10-9m) scale (between 0.1nm and 100nm), as well as multidisciplinary high-tech technologies that utilize these properties. The ultimate goal is to directly manufacture products with specific functions based on the characteristics of atoms and molecules on the nanoscale and substances on the nanoscale, and achieve a leap in production methods. Nanoscience generally includes the research fields of nanoelectronics, nanomechanics, nanomaterials, nanobiology, and nanochemistry.
Figure Electrospun nanofiber SEM
The size of nanofibers is widely defined, and there is currently no standard definition. In a narrow sense, nanofibers refer to fibers with a diameter in the range of 1-100nm. Broadly speaking, fibers below 1um can be called nanofibers. In addition, from the perspectives of spinning technology, cost, and practicality, generally, fibers that contain nanostructures and are endowed with new physical properties can also be classified as nanofibers, such as fibers doped with functional nanoparticles (already Used in various functional fibers such as antibacterial, flame-retardant, anti-ultraviolet, far-infrared, antistatic, electromagnetic shielding, etc.). The size effect of nanofibers is very significant, showing many novel properties in light, heat, magnetism, electricity, etc., so it has received great attention from researchers and is expected to be used in clothing, food, medicine, energy, electronics, paper, aviation and other fields . Electrospun nanofibers are difficult to exist alone. They usually exist in the form of nanofiber aggregates and nanofiber membranes, which are similar to common plastic films, non-woven fabrics and other membrane materials. They are essentially plastic or inorganic (inorganic nanofibers membrane), there is no special toxicity in itself, so you can use it with confidence.
Figure ZnO Nanopowder
Nanomaterials can be roughly divided into four categories: nanopowder, nanofiber, nanomembrane, and nanobulk.
Nano-ceramics: Nano-ceramic materials developed by using nano-technology use nano-powders to modify existing ceramics. By adding or generating nano-scale particles, whiskers, wafer fibers, etc. into the ceramics, the crystal grains, grain boundaries, and their combination between them has reached the nanometer level, which greatly improves the strength, toughness and superplasticity of the material.
Nano powder: also known as ultrafine powder or ultrafine powder, generally refers to powder or particles with a particle size of less than 100 nanometers. It is a solid particle material in an intermediate state between atoms, molecules and macroscopic objects.
Nanofiber: refers to a linear material with a nanometer diameter and a large length. Electrospinning is a simple and feasible method for preparing nanofibers.
Nano film: Nano film is divided into particle film and dense film. The particle film is a thin film in which nanoparticles are stuck together with very small gaps in the middle. Dense film refers to a thin film with a dense film layer but with a nano-level crystal grain size.
Nano-bulk: Nano-bulk is a nano-crystalline material obtained by high-pressure molding of nano-powder or by controlling the crystallization of liquid metal. The main uses are: ultra-high-strength materials; smart metal materials, etc.
Figure Four types of nanomaterials
The broad definition of nanomaterials is: at least one dimension in the three-dimensional space is at the nanometer scale (nanophase materials) or structural materials composed of them as basic units (nanostructured materials). The basic units of nanomaterials can be divided into four categories: zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional. Zero-dimensional means that the size of the material in the three dimensions of space is nano-scale, such as nanoparticles and atomic clusters; one-dimensional means that the size of the material in both dimensions of space is nano-scale, such as nanorods, nanotubes and nanofibers ; Two-dimensional means that the size of the material is nanoscale in only one dimension of space, such as nanosheets, ultra-thin films, multilayer films, and superlattices. Three-dimensional refers to the three-dimensional scale in space, such as nano-flowers and nano-balls.
It may be that the concentration of the spinning solution is too low, or the molecular weight of the polymer is too small.
Electrospinning, also called polymer injection and electrostatic stretching spinning process, is greatly different from traditional ways. Firstly, polymer solution or melt takes with thousands of high-voltage electricity. And electric polymer droplets are accelerated at the top of capillary Taylor cone under the influence of the electric field. Secondly, when the electric field power is strong enough, polymer droplets will inject a thin stream against surface tension, during which solution will evaporate or solidify. Finally the thin stream will be collected by collector, forming a non-woven cloth fibrofelt. During electrospinning process, droplets generally have electrostatic tension in an electric field, and therefore, when injection stream runs from capillary end to collector, it will accelerate, and induces injection stretching in the electric field.
