Popis: This paper discloses a method for producing nanofibers by a needleless electrospinning process based on the metal (card) clothing. 20% w/w polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution was employed to demonstrate the feasibility of this new electrospinning technology. Different types of metal clothing were used to produce PVA nanofibers under different voltages in the experiments; theoretical analysis of this new electrospinning method was also carried out to understand the experimental results. The results indicated the great potential for scaling up this new avenue for producing nanofibers through electrospinning, especially when medium sized clothing was used in the new process.
