Compound Core–Shell Polymer Nanofibers by Co‐Electrospinning

Abstract

Co‐electrospinning of core–shell polymer nanofibers (see Figure) is introduced. This process can be used for manufacturing of coaxial nanofibers made of pairs of different materials. Non‐spinnable materials can be forced into 1D arrangements by co‐electrospinning using a spinnable shell polymer. The method results in a novel two‐stage approach for fabrication of nanotubes instead of the previously used three‐stage process.
