Caption

The jet erupting from the end of the needle elongates into a fiber, and the ethanol and acetic acid used as solvents will evaporate. The fibers are collected on the grounded grid at the end of the cylinder forming a nonwoven white sheet like a silk paper. Lastly, the fibres collected from the grid will be burned in air to remove organic polymer.
