Designing a simple electrospinning device to produce nanofibers from polymeric and organic sources

The applied research discusses a method for manufacturing a simple electrospinning device to form nanofibers applicable in several fields of biotechnology such as filters or tissue restoration scaffolds. The device is characterized by its simplicity and applicability in nanotechnology and biotechnology laboratories in universities and research centers with limited budgets in Syria or developing countries.

The device manufactured in this way is an effective prototype, producing membranes of fibers with diameters estimated at micrometers of low order that overlap with the nanometer order, and with its development, it can be used for further applications.

The cost of manufacturing the device using synthetic and organic polymeric materials is about $10, while the cost of this device when purchased from commercial companies is about $10,000.

This research contributes to providing alternative and innovative methods with low budgets in the field of nanotechnology and electrospinning, but it needs further development and work to improve it.
