Summary of different collectors in electrospinning.

Type of Collector Advantages Disadvantages References
Static collector
1. Metal plate collector
Inline graphic
Simple equipment Random distribution of nanofibers
Not conducive to stretching the nanofibers
Low F(β)
[91,92]
2. Double-plate collector
Inline graphic
Highly aligned nanofibers
Enhance F(β) (compared with a mental plate collector)
[93,94,]
3. Circle electrode collector
Inline graphic
Easy to transfer membranes to the target substrates
High productivity
Random distribution of nanofibers
Low F(β)
[95]
Rotating collector
1. Rotating drum collector
Inline graphic
Highly aligned nanofibers
Enhance F(β) (compared with a mental plate collector)
The large area of a nanofibrous membrane
[96,97]
2. Rotating disk collector
Inline graphic
Highly aligned nanofibers
Enhance F(β) (compared with all other collectors)
The small area of a nanofibrous membrane [98,99,100]
