Abstract :
This work involves the study of the origin and effect of space charges in the electrospinning process. Electrospinning is a process used to make solid, nanofibrous polymer mats. These mats are used in tissue engineering as scaffolds for cells. The origin and effect of space charges in this process has not been well-studied.
