Abstract

Abstract : A simple and versatile method is developed to form nanofiber coatings in situ on micrometer to millimeter-sized surface via advanced electrospinning technique. The technique overcomes conventional nanofiber coating difficulties of downscaling coating objects. Abstract : A simple versatile method to form a nanofiber coating in situ on micrometer to millimeter-sized surfaces is developed. A fiber-filled porous sheet is designed by electrospinning a dense polymer solution on a patterned PET/aluminum alloy collector. By sticking the small area surface onto a fiber-filled porous sheet, a nanofiber-coated small area surface is obtained, which overcomes conventional nanofiber coating difficulties.
