Advances in Melt Electrospinning Technique

Abstract

Melt Electrospinning is a technique capable of producing micro and nanofibers with the advantages of being eco-friendly, cost-effective, and be applied in many areas such as nonwovens with high performance, biomedicine, high-efficiency filtration, oil sorption, and many others. This chapter describes the current trends on melt electrospinning including advancements in the technique, processing parameters, materials, apparatus, and areas of applications. Melt-differential electrospinning which is a new technique for nanofiber production invented by our innovation team of advanced polymer processing has been introduced. Future perspectives on melt electrospinning also proposed.
