Electrospinning of nanofibre yarns using rotating ring collector

 In this project, a novel ring collector was used to convert newly electrospun nanofibres into yarn. This setup has been designed to separate electrospinning from yarn drafting/twisting in two distinct zones. Three different types of electrospinning systems, i.e. needle, needleless, and needle/needleless hybrid, were utilized to produce nanofibre yarns.
