International Conference on

Electrospinning and mechanotropic phase separation

Sergey Kotomin

Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia

lectrospinning from polymer solutions is widely used

for manufacturing of nanofibrous materials. For a long

time, the mechanism of electrospinning was related to

fast evaporation of solvent from thin liquid jets of polymer

solution in high voltage electric field. We suggest for that

process another mechanism – phase separation as a result

of high speed stretching typical for electrospinning. Under

elongation the solution undergoes phase separation and

the solvent reveals on the surface of the fiber without its

complete evaporation.
