Modeling of nanofiber fabrication process through centrifugal spinning

The major challenge associated with electrospinning is its production rate, compared with that ofconventional fibre spinning. A newly developed method of producing nanofibers, called centrifugal spinning, hasproven to be a viable alternative to mass produce nanofibers. This work presents a detailed explanation of the fiberformation process through centrifugal spinning. A theoretical model for the jet is derived using a thin filamentapproximation, and the resulting differential equations stable jets are solved numerically. The simulation predictsjet radius, trajectory and velocity profile.
