Specification

Multi-jet nozzle, electrospray nozzle, multi-nozzle and electrospinning nozzles
used in electrospinning, electrojetting or electrosparying devices use various techniques
as explained below. For example, the electrospray nozzle comprises a silicon substrate
with a channel running between an entrance orifice and a nozzle output. The electrospray
nozzle produces an electrospray perpendicular to the nozzle surface. A silicon substrate
based electrospray nozzle is used to controllably disperse a sample into a
nanoelectrospray, however, the electrospray nozzle is not used for fibre production. The
electrospinning nozzle may form part of an electrospinning, electrojetting, or
electrospraying apparatus which further includes an electric field means arranged to form
a fluid cone and a fluid jet. The electrospinning nozzle may also include collecting the
generated fibres or particles. The electrospinning nozzle does not have multiple pores in it
to act like multi-nozzle for the production of multiple jets of nanofibres or nanospray
under the electric field. Electrospinning nozzle does not have syringe capped structure in
it to act like capillary type user friendly multi-jet nozzle for the production of multiple
jets of nanofibres or nanospray under the electric field. There is a need for a nozzle
capable of customizable pores and different technology to maintain high-throughput
nanofibre using electrospinning technique.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] Embodiments of techniques of capillary type multi-jet nozzle for fabricating high
throughput nanofibre are described herein. In the following description, numerous
specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments. A
person of ordinary skill in the relevant art will recognize, however, that the embodiments
can be practiced without one or more of the specific details, or with other methods,
components, materials, etc. In some instances, well-known structures, materials, or
operations are not shown or described in detail.
[0016] Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment”, “this embodiment”
and similar phrases, means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described
in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one of the one or more
embodiments. Thus, the appearances of these phrases in various places throughout this
specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the
particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner
in one or more embodiments.
[0017] A capillary type multi-jet nozzle is created and a method is proposed for
production of nano-fibres and nano-powders through electrostatic spinning and
electrostatic spraying respectively of polymer liquid matrixes, which at the large scale
and industrial utilization would be possible in a short-term period to produce nanofibres
and nano-powders of a constant and uniform quality with the lowest possible demand for
cleaning, maintenance and adjustment, and which would remedy or at least reduce the
user difficulties in terms of time, maintenance, cleaning and uniformity.
5
[0018] The capillary type multi-jet nozzle described below is a unique nozzle to be used
in electrospinning, electrospraying, or electrojetting, for producing multiple fibres,
droplets, or particles. In particular, the apparatus relates to producing multiple jets from
the capillary type multi-jet nozzle for electropinning, electrojetting and electrospraying.
[0019] Electrospray is a method for spraying liquid in an electrostatic field for producing
an aerosol. In this method, the liquid is passed through a capillary tube with a high
voltage at the tip. There is also provided a plate biased at low voltage, such as ground,
spaced apart from the capillary in a direction normal to the capillary. Higher capillary tip
potential leads to the Taylor cone formation. A liquid jet is released through the tip of the
Taylor cone. The jet rapidly forms into droplets as a result of Coulomb repulsion in the
jet.
[0020] Similarly to electrospray, a voltage source is connected between the tip of a
capillary and a collector plate. Again, as a result of Columbic and overcoming surface
tension forces a Taylor cone forms. If the liquid is a polymer or other liquid with a
viscosity which is high enough (due to high molecular weight), the liquid jet emitted from
the Taylor cone does not breakup. The jet is further elongated by electrostatic repulsion in
the polymer or liquid until a thin fibre is produced. The fibre is finally deposited on the
collector. Instabilities in the liquid jet and evaporation of solvent can cause the fibre not
to be straight and may curl. By careful choice of polymer and solvent system combined
with a high enough electric field, fibres with nanometer scale diameters can be formed.
[0021] Electrospinning is a fibre production method which uses electric force to draw
charged threads of polymer solutions or polymer melts up to fibre diameters in the order
of some hundred nanometers. Electrospinning shares characteristics of both
electrospraying and conventional solution dry spinning of fibres. When a sufficiently high
voltage is applied to a liquid droplet, the body of the liquid becomes charged, and
6
electrostatic repulsion counteracts the surface tension and the droplet is stretched, at a
critical point a stream of liquid erupts from the surface. This point is known as the Taylor
cone. If the molecular cohesion of the liquid is sufficiently high, stream breakup does not
occur (if it does, droplets are electrosprayed) and a charged liquid jet is formed. As the jet
dries in flight, the mode of current flow changes as the charge migrates to the surface of
the fibre. The jet is then elongated by a whipping process caused by electroststic
repulsion initiated at small bends in the fibre, until it is finally deposited on the grounded
collector. The elongation and thinning of the fibre resulting from this bending instability
leads to the formation of uniform fibres with nonometer scale diameters. The
electrospinning method is a versatile technique for nanofibre production. Materials such
as polymers, composites, ceramic and metal nanowires have been fabricated directly or
through post-spinning processes. Diameters of 3-1000 nm have been achieved. The fibres
produced can be used in a diverse range of fields, from scaffolds for clinical use, to
nanofibre mats for sub-micron particulate filtration. Attempts have been made to fabricate
more complex fibres, such as fibres having a core material different to an outer shell, and
fibre materials incorporating drugs in the outer shell or bacteria and viruses in the inner
core. However, many of the techniques are confined to the laboratory because the
advances required for scaling up to manufacture have not been made.
[0022] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 for
fabricating high throughput nanofibre, according to one embodiment. A unique add-on
capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 used in electro-spinning, electro-jetting, or electrospraying device enables forming multiple fluid jets from multiple Taylor cones. The
capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may have a plurality of pores arranged in a pore area
102 for supplying the fluid for use in the formation of multiple fluid jets. The pores in the
pore area 102 are arranged such that the multiple fluid jets include liquid. The individual
7
pore have openings from which the fluids are discharged to form multiple cones and
multiple jets. For electrohydrodynamic processes such as electrospinning, electrojetting,
or electrospraying, an electric field should be present in the vicinity of the device or
capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100. Electrospinning, electrojetting, and electrospraying
are related processes that differ in the resultant product as a result of differences in the
viscosities and types of fluids used, the electric field applied, the distance from the nozzle
to a collection surface etc. The capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may form part of an
electrospinning, electrojetting, or electrospraying apparatus which further includes
electric field means arranged to form the multiple fluid cone and multiple fluid jet. The
electric field means may include an electric field generator and a pair of electrodes for
applying the electric field between the capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 and a collection
zone spaced apart from the capillary type multi-jet nozzle.
[0023] The two or more pores in the pore area 102 may be arranged in the capillary type
multi-jet nozzle 100 to get multiple jet of fluid in electrical field during the process of
electrospinning, electrojetting and electrospraying. This allows the fibres to be aligned
over the substrate in lesser time than the single jet nozzle. The capillary type unique
structure makes the nano-fibres more aligned over the substrate and is user friendly and
time efficient. This allows multiple jets of fibres or particles, or allows a gas or liquid
sheath to be used to produce fibres or particles formed from materials supplied using
highly volatile solvents. The two or more openings may be arranged such that multiple
jets formed will be equal to the number of pores or openings.
[0024] The capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may be arranged in two parts such as cap
system 104 and crew system 106. The upper half or cap system 104 of the capillary type
multi-jet nozzle 100 contains two or more pores in the pore area 102 and the second half
or the crew system 106 contains the syringe cap. Both the halves can be tighten using
8
screw grooves system. This enables user friendly cleaning of the pores. The cleaning
would be easier because of the cap and crew model which will further minimize the
chances of stalling or slowing down the flow rate while electrospinning / electrospraying /
electrojetting. The crew system 106 without capillary pores will be capped tightly to the
syringe with normal mechanical force.
[0025] The capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may be made up of good conducting
material which may be copper or stainless steel so that high power voltage may be given
for electrospinning process. For easy fitting operation the nozzle outer surface is knurled
by machining. The outer wall of the capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may have the
knurling groove 108 so that the crocodile clip groove might be easily fixed while
connecting the nozzle with high voltage for the process of electrospinning. The inner wall
of capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may have smooth surface for the efficient flow of
the fluid to be pumped from the syringe. The inner wall also has been given capillary
pores by wire EDM (Electric Discharge Machine). The pores or openings in the
pores/pores may have inner diameter of 0.25 mm for the jet formation with better
efficiencies without hindering the other jets. The channel which meets the syringe may
have the smooth inner walls which can be easily push fit with the tip of the syringe and
the other end has the external thread of screw grooves. The multiple pores containing
channel has the internal screw threads at one end and pores on the other end. The
capillary type multi-jet nozzle 100 may be fabricated using micro-machining. Chamfer
110 is a cut at an angle of 45 degrees connecting the pores area 102 and the knurling
groove 108. Teflon gasket 112 has been used for proper tightening and sealing of the cap
system 104 and the crew system 106. The crew system 106 will be capped tightly to the
syringe with normal mechanical force using connecting portion to syringe 114.

provides a multi-jet electrospinning, electrojetting, or electrospray apparatus arranged to
form multiple jets pumped from the syringe. Syringe here means the syringe to be used
during electrospinning, electrojetting, or electrospray process. The capillary action based
multi-nozzle is able to maintain the high-throughput nanofibre, nano-droplet and nanoparticles fabrication using electrospinning, electrojetting and electrospraying respectively.
The number of pores can be customized from 2 to 39 or more based on the need,
customizable pores provides flexibility and ease of use.
[0038] The capillary action based multi-nozzle also provides small angles to grooves to
make non-interfering and non-hindering multiple jets formed and takes lesser time in
electrospinning, electrospraying and electrojetting. The capillary action based multinozzle makes the uniform nanofibre coating with almost monodispersed pores between
the nanofibres. The capillary action based multi-nozzle enables easy to clean system with
cap and crew system and may easily electrospray the high viscous fluids. The cleaning
would be easier because of the cap and crew model which will further minimize the
14
chances of stalling or slowing down the flow rate while electrospinning / electrospraying /
electrojetting. The capillary action based multi-nozzle enables the electrospinning process
faster with respect to time and with no loss of the fluid as wastage and high throughput
process. The capillary action based multi-nozzle includes a method of manufacturing
fibres, particles, or droplets, wherein the fibres. Fibres, particles, or droplets are formed
from the multiple jets from the invented capillary type multi-jet nozzle.
