Abstract

The idea of using an electric field for the production of textile fibers from a polymer melt or solution was conceived in the early 30 s [1]. In 1969, Taylor conducted a study of a drop of polymer on the tip of a capillary in an electrospinning equipment. This study led to a greater understanding of the behavior of polymer solutions ejected from a capillary [2].
