Vibration Multi-tip electrostatic spinning apparatus
Technical field
The present invention relates to electrostatic spinning, more particularly, to vibration Multi-tip electrostatic spinning apparatus.
Background technology
Electrostatic spinning is a kind of method of manufacture nanofiber popular in recent years.Due to its have process is simple,
Easily manipulation, the advantages of cost is relatively low, material source is extensive, preparation-obtained tunica fibrosa has that diameter is small, porosity is high, ratio
The features such as surface area is big, permeability is high, becomes a focus of current research nanofiber preparation.Electrostatic spinning technique system
Standby fiber suffers from being widely applied in fields such as weaving, filter, biomedicine, photoelectric material, catalyst, sensors.
Electrostatic spinning is, by high-pressure electrostatic on polymer solution or melt band, taylor cone to be formed in the presence of electric field,
When electric field is increased to is enough to overcome Surface Tension of Liquid Drops, powered injection thread is formed in taylor cone cone tip part.In electric field force, glue
Under the effect such as resistance hysteresis, surface tension, by the way that the whip of fiber is dynamic, slenderizing, solvent volatilization is finally deposited on collection device
On, form fiber.
Traditional electrostatic spinning uses monofilaments shower nozzle and carries out the preparation of fiber, less efficient, it is impossible to realize fine
The mass production of dimension.The method of raising Electrospun nano-fibers efficiency is mainly at present carries out electrostatic using many spinning nozzles
Spinning (Theron S A, Yarin A L, Zussman E, et al.Multiple jets in electrospinning:
experiment and modeling[J].Polymer,2005,46(9):2889-2899), and it is most of use it is right
The injection spinning nozzle of multiple standards is assembled, by the promotion extrusion solution or melt of mechanical force, by being stretched into for electric field force
Row spinning.But, the spinning nozzle diameter of the injection showerhead of standard is in micron order mostly, and electrostatic spinning is carried out with this shower nozzle,
Easily cause the obstruction of shower nozzle because solvent volatilization or melt curing rate are too fast, the interruption for causing spinning to prepare, influence production
Efficiency, while needing to change shower nozzle and shower nozzle being cleaned, causes the reduction of spinning efficiency, the raising of cost of spinning.Also,
The solution higher for viscosity or melt, because the surface tension of solution or melt is big, it is difficult to overcome surface tension to form injection
Thread, the method for solving at present is mainly the DC voltage being added on shower nozzle using raising so that solution or melt are at shower nozzle
Solution overcome surface tension formed injection thread, but too high voltage easily causes the ionization of air.In electrostatic spinning mistake
Cheng Zhong, is also that one kind has using External force interference in addition to the method for surface tension that above-mentioned utilization electric field force overcomes solution
The method of the surface tension of effect destruction solution.Wherein, the mobility of solution can be strengthened using mechanical oscillation, is contacted using foreign object
Solution surface, can puncture surface, overcome surface tension, be the approach for effectively destroying surface tension.Have at present using ultrasound
The mode of ripple concussion makes solution be in dynamic flow regime, overcomes solution surface tension to form many jets.But in electrostatic spinning
During, the position of standing wave can offset, taylor cone into position and direction do not fix, jet and formed fiber uniformity
It is relatively low, interference is susceptible between jet.
The content of the invention
In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problem, the obstructing problem and height that offer of the invention can overcome standard injection shower nozzle to cause are viscous
Degree solution or melt are difficult to the problem for overcoming surface tension to form jet, it is ensured that the stabilization of many injection streams is quickly sprayed, and realize fine
