Patent number: 8586148Abstract: An electrospinning method includes providing a nozzle fluidically coupled to a source of polymer ink and providing a substrate adjacent to the nozzle. A first voltage is applied to the nozzle to initiate electrospinning of the polymer ink onto the substrate, wherein the first voltage is within the range of about 400V to about 1000V. The voltage is then reduced to a second, lower voltage wherein the voltage is within the range of about 600V to about 150V.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2012Date of Patent: November 19, 2013Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Gobind S. Bisht, Giulia Canton, Marc Madou, Alireza Mirsepassi, Derek Dunn-Rankin

Patent number: 7911146Abstract: Gas flows of modest velocities are generated when an organized ion flux in an electric field initiates an ion-driven wind of neutral molecules. When a needle in ambient air is electrically charged to a potential sufficient to produce a corona discharge near its tip, such a gas flow can be utilized downstream of a ring-shaped or other permeable earthed electrode. In view of the potential practical applications of such devices, as they represent blowers with no moving parts, a methodology for increasing their flow velocities includes exploitation of the divergence of electric field lines, avoidance of regions of high curvature on the second electrode, control of atmospheric humidity, and the use of linear arrays of stages, terminating in a converging nozzle. The design becomes particularly advantageous when implemented in mesoscale domains.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: The Regents of the University of CaliforniaInventors: Derek Dunn-Rankin, Matthew J. A. Rickard
