Cross-aligned fiber collector

Collect fibers in two intersecting directions to form grid-like nanofiber membranes. A large-area configuration is available for membranes up to 100 × 100 mm.

How cross-aligned collection works

Fibers are collected in one direction, the collection surface is turned by 90°, and deposition continues to create a second, perpendicular fiber direction.

  1. 01

    Prepare the collection surface

  2. 02

    Collect the first fiber layer

  3. 03

    Turn the surface by 90°

  4. 04

    Continue collecting across the first layer

Fiber bridging between the discs

Fibers span the gap between the two discs. The photograph shows the bridging region and the collection surface positioned below it.
