Abstract:

In this study a new method of yarn production from electrospun nanofibres is discussed. This method is an innovation in electrospinning, using two differently charged nozzles and a collector travelling through the air to form yarn continuously. In this project PAN electrospun nanofibres were used to produce twisted yarn with a linear density of 2.1 tex at laboratory scale. The tensile properties of these yarns were then investigated. With this method it is possible to produce yarns with different polymers and linear densities.
