Abstract

This paper introduces a parametric study of nanofiber fabrication. Poly-Caprolactone(PCL) and Chloroform are basic material for nanofiber fabrication with electrospinning method. The device for electrospinning was composed of a syringe pump, syringe, high voltage generator and 32gauge plastic nozzle. PCL concentration, applied voltage, solution flow rate and the tip to collector distance (TCD) were parameters in electrospinning method. As a result of electrospinning experiment, it was found that as TCD and applied voltage increased, the diameter of fibres was decreased. In feed rate experiment, the size of fibres decreased when feed rate decreased. The optimized PCL concentration was found at 6w/v% for the minimum of fibres.
