Electrospinning a Thermoelectric Polymer - Materials Science and ...

32
Conclusion: Electrospinning
Goals and Results
Goal: Predict diameter of electrospun fibers based on
easily measurable processing parameters
Results: Helgeson model does not fully agree to
experimental observations of complex systems
Insight from Results: Dimensional analysis still useful as
engineering design tool
Future work: Design electrospinning solution using PEO
as carrier polymer
Cleaner environmental impact: use water as solvent
Obtain accurate trends of dielectric constants, viscosities,
and surface tension in polymer solutions to make more
robust model
