A method of fiber production relating in general to electrospinning and
specifically to MEMS (Micro ElectroMechanical Structures). Utilizing
integrated circuit manufacturing processes, a nanoscale, self-contained
device has been developed to execute the process of electrospinning large
arrays of fibers and fiber arrays. One of the benefits of using the
disclosed MEMS device is that the voltage required to produce a "so
called" Taylor Cone would is substantially reduced and the requirement of
a hydrostatic feed negated through the use of passive capillarity based
wick surface treatment.
