Multi Wire Collector
The Multi Wire Collector is an efficient solution for producing highly aligned nanofibers. It consists of thin stainless-steel wires positioned at equal distances from the rotation axis. At low speeds, fibers are deposited on and between the wires, while at higher speeds, the combination of electrostatic and mechanical forces significantly improves fiber alignment.
One of the key advantages of this collector is that it can achieve excellent alignment at lower rotational speeds compared to a rotating drum collector. It is compatible with a negative high-voltage source, supports up to 3000 RPM, and has a length of 25 cm and a diameter of 8 cm.
