Summary
Nanoscale fluid mechanics plays an important role in nanomaterial fabrication in electrospinning and 3-D printing technology. This special issue focuses on the spinning, printing or writing process in a view of nanoscale flow to control nanoparticles or molecules’ distribution and orientation in the fabricated objects. Nature-inspired fabrication technologies are specially emphasized.

- Abstract Electrospinning is a versatile and popular method for the fabrication of ultrafine fibers and many parameters in electrospinning can be adjusted when ideal micro/nanofibers are required. In particular, the selection of a proper solvent condition is a fundamental and crucial step to produce electrospun ultrafine fibers. In this study, a commonly used biomaterial, polylactic acid (PLA), was dissolved in 7 different solvents and PLA micro/nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning. The morphology, porosity, mechanical property and static contact angle were characterized to determine the quality of the obtained product. The results show that different solvent conditions have a significant effect on… More
