Abstract in English
Nylon-6/6 continuous Polymer nanofibers (NF) were produced by using conventional single needle
electrosprinng (ES) technique. In this paper several parameters, such as applied voltage and needle
diameter were investigated to optimize fiber morphology. The morphological and structure properties of
the fiber (average diameter, height, length, surface roughness and fiber shape) are visualized by Atomic
Force Microscopy (AFM). Good alignment of polymer nanofibres was confirmed by AFM and optical
microscopy observations. We concluded that fiber diameter increases with decreasing applied voltage
intensity and increasing the distance between the electrodes.
