Schematic representation of a typical electrospinning system

The polymer solution is delivered, at a constant rate, to the tip of the charged spinneret. Electrospinning is initiated from the Taylor cone (depicted top right) when the charge overcomes the forces of surface tension. The electrospun fibres are then collected on the grounded targe (Image courtesy of Dr. Julian George, Imperial College London).
