The Effect of Liquid Properties to Fiber Radius on Electrospinning Process

The effects of liquid properties to fiber radius were studied. The liquid parameters, which was viscosity, elastic modulus, surface tension, mass density as well as charge, were important parameter which have been investigated to produce desired radius of fiber. It was found that simulation by used viscosity 20 Pa. s, elastic modulus 2 106 Pa, surface tension 5 10-3 N/m, mass density 1.5 10-9 kg/m3 and charge 6.7 10-11 C/m3, could produce 179.8 nm fiber radius.
