  • Patent number: 7354546
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process of preparing a continuous filament composed of a nano fiber, wherein nano fibers are prepared by spinning a polymer spinning dope in a spinning dope main tank (20) onto the surface of water or organic solvent (4a) of a collector (4), which contains water or inorganic solvent (4a) and has a conductive material (5) with a high voltage applied sunken in the water or organic solvent (4a), through nozzles (2) with a high voltage applied, and the nano fibers are pressed, drawn, dried and wound while being pulled by a rotary roller (6) rotating at a constant linear velocity from the location spaced more than 1 cm from one end of a dropping spot. The present invention can prepare a continuous filament composed of a nano fiber by an electrospinning method and a continuous process.

  • Patent number: 6787230
    Abstract: The present invention relates to ultra-fine inorganic fibers and a method of producing the same. The method of producing ultra-fine inorganic fibers comprises the steps of: mixing sol or gel containing an inorganic material and thermoplastic resin solution and reacting them to produce a mixture solution thereof; electronically spinning the mixture solution under a high voltage to produce a composite fiber with the inorganic material embedded in the thermoplastic resin; and carbonating the thermoplastic resin in the composite fiber or dissolving the same in a solvent. Thereby an ultra-fine inorganic fiber is prepared which has a length 100 to 10,000 times larger than its diameter and a diameter of 10 to 1,000 nm. The ultra-fine inorganic fiber of the present invention has a very large specific surface area with respect to its volume. Thus it is very useful as catalyst supporting materials, reinforcing materials, coating materials or the like in every field of industry.
