NANON-01A, MECC, Japan.

· Quick and easy programming with a 10-key controller.

· Types of spinnerets: tubeless, multiple jet, and ultra-thin coaxial spinnerets.

· Types of collectors: disc, drum, and plate collectors.

Electro spinning is a fiber production method which uses electric force to draw charged threads of polymer solutions

The basic principle for a polymer solution to be electro spinnable is its ability to carry an electric charge and have sufficient viscosity to be stretched without breaking up into droplets .
