Abstract

Electrospinning is an efficient and versatile technique for the fabrication of ultrafine fibers having diameters ranging from nano to sub-micron level for various potential applications. In this study, we have investigated the influence of process and solution parameters, such as solution concentration, flow rate and applied voltage, on the morphology of electrospun poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) fibers. Morphology and average diameter (Davg.) of the electrospun SAN fibers were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The SEM results reveal that concentration, applied voltage and flow rate of solution are strongly associated with formation of defects, such as beads, in the fibers. Ultrafine SAN fibers with Davg. in the range of 96–872 nm were obtained by controlling the experimental parameters. The Davg. of electrospun fibers increased with increasing solution concentration, applied voltage and flow rate. Also, the Davg. exhibits a power law relationship with the solution concentration.
