Abstract

An integrated data acquisition/actuator control system is developed to conduct experiments investigating the fundamental dynamics for different operating conditions in an electrospinning system. The relation between measured variables (fiber current, whipping angle, jet length, and expulsion cone volume) to the resulting fiber diameter distribution is analyzed.
