Abstract

Electrospinning's production method has been streamlined and perfected because to advancements in technology and increased demand. While working with electrospun fibers, it is crucial to ensure that they are collected in the correct orientation. Electrospun fibers can be either aligned or random. In contrast to randomly oriented fibers, all aligned ones will point in the same direction. Our results show that a low-cost, tailored electrospinning device can achieve equivalent performance to that of a commercially available system. High voltage (up to 36 kV) and nanofiber orientation adjustments are now being made to the proposed device. A high-voltage direct-current electrical power supply that is custom-built per order and wired by hand. Two specialized collectors, one portable and manufactured from conductive material for random nanofibers, and the other an inexpensive rotational drum collector for aligned nanofibers, have been developed to allow for precise orientation control. By applying Image J software to scanning electron micrographs, we were able to determine the average diameter and orientation of the fibers produced by the electrospinning apparatus, demonstrating its potential to produce nanoscale directed fibers. Because of this research, it's possible that schools will be able to afford an electrospinning system at a price far lower than the current market price.
