CURRENT RESEARCH

"Modeling of NANO AND MICRO fibers Deposition using processes assisted by electric field:

 

  • Study of injection of polymeric solutions inside electric fields  using different setup configurations including: same as electrospinning, parallel macro and micro electrodes

 

  • Analysis of effects of electric field distribution/intensity and of different mechanisms of charge induction (by keeping the capillary for polymer injection at a floating potential)

 

  • Use of different polymers and solvents aiming at obtaining fibers and structures (oriented fibers and mats) with potential for biological, sensing, and energy storage applications

 

  • Numerical simulation (COMSOL Multiphysics) of electric field distribution using different electrode configurations
