Lecture 13: Fabrication of Nanofibers Using Electrospinning

In this video, we explore the fabrication of nanofibers using electrospinning, a powerful technique for creating ultra-thin fibers with nanoscale precision. We begin by understanding what nanofibers are, and their diverse applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and filtration. Next, we break down the electrospinning process, covering key fabrication techniques, critical parameters, and how they influence fiber morphology. The session also covers contact angle measurement, an essential technique for evaluating surface wettability. Finally, we conclude with a demonstration of electrospinning in action, showcasing how nanofibers are synthesized in real time. Stay tuned to uncover the science behind this technology!
