US Patent:

7264762, Sep 4, 2007
Filed:

Jan 5, 2001
Appl. No.:

10/169216
Inventors:

Frank K. Ko - Philadelphia PA, US
Alan G. MacDiarmid - Drexel Hill PA, US
Ian D. Norris - Santa Fe NM, US
Manal Shaker - Pratsville AL, US

International Classification:

D01F 1/09
H05B 7/00
US Classification:

264465
Abstract:

A process of making conductive polymeric fibers by electrospinning fibers from a blend of polymers dissolved in an organic solvent includes generating a high voltage electric field between oppositely charged polymer fluid in a glass syringe () with a capillary tip () and a metallic collection screen () and causing a polymer jet () to flow to the screen () as solvent evaporates and collecting fibers on the screen ().
