Affordable lab-scale electrospinning setup with interchangeable collectors for targeted fiber formation.

ABSTRACT: The electrospinning method is increasingly in demand due to its capability to produce fibers in the nanometer to micrometer range, with applications in diverse fields including biomedical, filtration, energy storage, and sensing. Many of these applications demand control over fiber layout and diameter. However, a standard flat plate collector yields random fibers with limited control over diameter and density. Other viable solutions offering a higher level of control are either scarce or substantially expensive, impeding the accessibility of this vital technique. This study addresses the challenge by designing an affordable laboratory-scale electrospinning setup with interchangeable collectors, enabling the creation of targeted fibers from random, aligned, and coiled. The collectors includ
