Abstract

Electric Electrospinning method was made using two conductive plates separated at a certain distance and connected with low voltage power supply. The low potential difference between both of plates vary from 1–5 V, this potential difference causes the fiber formed to have a uniform orientation. TiO2 fiber was made with Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) as a matrix. PAN/TiO2 aligned fiber has been successfully fabricated using EES, fiber morphology was analyzed by SEM. Image-J and Microcal Origin software are used to determine the diameter size and fiber slope, respectively. The higher potential between the two plates gives smaller diameter and smaller slope. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
