Abstract

We have used scanned electrospinning to deposit oriented polyethylene oxide and silicaglass fibres over trenches etched in silicon. We measured the Young’s moduli of the fibresusing an atomic force microscope. The Young’s moduli of the glass fibres agree with valuescalculated from previously measured mechanical resonance frequencies of similar fibres. TheYoung’s moduli of the polyethylene oxide fibres are significantly larger than those reportedfor polyethylene oxide bulk and films, suggesting molecular orientation in the fibres.
