Effect of the main electrospinning parameters on fiber diameter and morphology.

Polymer solution properties Process parameters Environmental parameters
Relative molecular mass ↑ Concentration and viscosity ↑ Surface tension ↑ Conductivity ↑ Voltage ↑ Flow rate ↑ Receiving distance ↑ Temperature ↑ Humidity ↑
Fiber diameter ↓ Then ↑
Fiber morphology Less beads, uniform fibers High viscosity, no continuous fiber Increased probability of generating beaded structures Wide fiber diameter distribution The fiber diameter distribution is widened, which is not conducive to obtaining a fiber with a smooth surface, and a bead structure is generated at a high voltage Excessive flow rate resulting in beaded fibers More uniform fiber diameter distribution Forming a multiporous structure on the surface of the fiber
