Popis: | A novel electrospinning process of uniaxially aligned submicron fibers was developed. The number of the fibers was precisely controlled by changing biased collector, and the diameter of the fiber was varied by post-deposition stretching process. This method realized the formation of number-controlled aligned poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] (MEH-PPV)/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) fibers with the systematic control of the diameter ranging from micrometer to submicrometer. Significant improvement of the uniformity of the fiber diameter was also observed by the stretching process. |
