Manufacturing device and the method of preparing for the nanofibers via electro blown spinning process
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a nanofiber web preparing apparatus and method via electro-blown spinning. The nanofiber web preparing method includes feeding a polymer solution, which is a polymer dissolved into a given solvent, toward a spinning nozzle, discharging the polymer solution via the spinning nozzle, which is charged with a high voltage, while injecting compressed air via the lower end of the spinning nozzle, and collecting fiber spun in the form of a web on a grounded suction collector under the spinning nozzle, in which both of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins are applicable, the solution does not need to be heated and electrical insulation is readily realized.
1. An apparatus for preparing a nanofiber web comprising:
a storage tank for preparing a polymer solution;
a spinneret comprising an inlet portion connected to said storage tank and at least one spinning nozzle for discharging the polymer solution fed from the storage tank;
an air nozzle disposed adjacent to the discharge end of the spinning nozzle for injecting compressed air;
high voltage charging means connected to the spinning nozzle; and
a grounded collector for collecting nanofibers discharged from the spinning nozzle in the form of a web wherein the spinning nozzle comprises a capillary tube at its discharge end; wherein the air nozzle surrounds the spinning nozzle, or is located on both sides of the spinning nozzle, and has an air gap of about 0.5 to 2.0 mm and wherein the capillary tube has a diameter of about 0.1 to 2.0 mm.
