  • Patent number: 11371167
    Abstract: Device for the production of nanofibrous and/or microfibrous layers having an increased thickness uniformity by spinning a liquid material (3), said device comprising: a collecting electrode (6), a spinning nozzle (1) for dispensing the liquid material (3) to be spun, an assembly for guiding the collecting electrode (6) and/or for guiding a base strip (5) along the collecting electrode (6) or adjacent to it, such that—in the area faced by the outlet orifice (10) of the spinning nozzle (1)—the collecting electrode (6) and/or the base strip (5) move(s) in the direction (MD) spaced from the outlet orifice (10) of the spinning nozzle (1), a power supply for generating a voltage of 10 to 150 kV between the collecting electrode (6) and the spinning nozzle (1), at least one body (2), which moves along the liquid surface to destabilize the locations of the points where fibres (4) are formed on the surface of the liquid material (3) at the outlet orifice (10) of the spinning nozzle (1).

  • Publication number: 20150152572
    Abstract: Spinning nozzle for production of nanofibrous and microfibrous materials comprises: a first plate (1) provided with at least one continuous groove (2) for directing a first material to an outlet mouth portion (3) of the continuous groove (2) in a face (4) of the first plate (1); a second plate (5) provided with at least one continuous groove (6) for directing a second material to an outlet mouth portion (7) of the continuous groove (6) of the second plate (5), the outlet mouth portion (7) being arranged adjacent to the outlet mouth portion (3) of the first plate (1); and a separating plate (8) arranged between the first plate (1) and the second plate (5) for separating the continuous grooves (2) of the first plate (1) from the continuous grooves (6) of the second plate (5), while the face (9) of the separating plate (8) forms with the face (4) of the first plate (1) and/or the face (10) of the second plate (5) a continuous surface in the region of the outlet mouth portions (3; 7) of the continuous grooves (2;

  • Publication number: 20140284827
    Abstract: A method of producing fibres includes continuously drawing a fibre out of a solution, and pulling it to a rotary set of n electrodes by means of an electrostatic field. The individual electrodes of the set are arranged at regular spacing to each other and at the same distance from the set's rotation axis, and parallel with it. The fibre is wound on the set of electrodes by rotating the set of electrodes. The electrostatic field is disconnected and rotation of the set of electrodes is stopped. A layer of the fibres formed in the field between two adjacent electrodes is removed. The rotating set of electrodes turns through an angle of 360/n, the layer of the fibres formed between two adjacent electrodes in the field adjacent to the field from which the layer was removed, is removed, and this step is repeated in total n-times.

  • Patent number: 8727756
    Abstract: The combined spinning nozzle for the production of nanofibrous or microfibrous materials comprises a thin-walled electrode (1) and a first non-conductive body (2) adjoining the first wall of said thin-walled electrode, said first body having its wall, which faces the thin-walled electrode (1), provided with an array of grooves (5) formed therein, said grooves leading to the distal end (6) of the combined spinning nozzle and having their proximal ends connected to a supply of spinning mixture. The thin-walled electrode (1) and the first non-conductive body (2) may assume either plate-like or cylindrical shapes. The combined spinning nozzle may further comprise a second non-conductive body (4) adjoining a second wall of the thin-walled electrode (1) and directing the air from the proximal end towards the distal end (6) of the nozzle.
