Abstract

In the original language

This article focuses on the analysis of electrostatic field generated by a special collector consisting of two parallel cylindrical conductors used for electrospinning. Computed values of critical electrical potential obtained by an analytical model are compared with measurements. Here we show that the gap distance between the special collector and a spinning electrode, i.e., a syringe needle, has not substantial effect on the critical potential if the special collector distance from the syringe needle is higher than the gap distance between cylindrical conductors. The presented model is a good analytical approximation of electric field created by the used special collector.
