A simple and high production rate manufacturing method for submicron polymer fibres.

The manufacturing technique for cotton-candy floss, heat-aided rotary jet-spinning, was used to produce submicron-scale fibrous meshes by using bioabsorbable thermoplastic polymers. The method was feasible for 100 wt% polymer concentrations functioning completely without solvents. It was possible to produce submicron diameter fibres using a simple device, which indicates that this manufacturing method is a very promising technique for obtaining high-throughput rates for submicron, and possibly nano-scale, fibrous meshes.
