| Abstract | The authors have studied the formation of an interfused network of nanofibres in multiple-needle electrospinning, a phenomenon reported here for the first time to their knowledge. Their study points to the significant role of humidity in controlling the morphology of nanofibre ensemble in electrospinning: when the humidity is sufficiently low, entangled mat of nanofibres with little or no interfusion between them are formed. However, at sufficiently high humidity, electrospun jets diffused into each other, forming a network of interfused fibres. The onset of jet interfusion during electrospinning is notable with naked eyes. The humidity that corresponds to the onset of the jet interfusion is referred to as the humidity threshold. They studied the formation of the nanofibre interfusion, and the relationships between humidity threshold and nanofibre diameters with processing parameters. They then presented a theory which explains the formation of the interfused network of fibres in terms of water condensation on the jets due to evaporative cooling. The presented approach allows for direct (one-step) fabrication of high surface area interfused nanofibre network without post-processing. This unique fibre structure can have significant implications on fibre applications for air and water filtering, where the structural integrity of the filter matters. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
