This study focuses on the preparation of various polymeric nanofibers using new industrial production equipment a wire electrospinning system. The disadvantages of each polymeric nanofiber were improved by mixing suitable polymer/polymer-solvent/solvent systems. A total of 9 types of polymers (polyamide, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyacrylonitrile, polyurethane, polysulfone, chitosan, cellulose acetate, polyvinyl butyral, and polycaprolactone) and their mixtures were electrospun using a wire electrospinning system. The resultant fiber surface morphology showed that the wire electrospinning method is suitable for the production of various polymers on an industrial scale. Moreover, polymer mixtures changed the adhesion properties, increased productivity and reduced the fiber diameter of nanofibers. (C) 2016 The Author.
