A process of making fibers by electrostatic spinning includes the use of a mixing vessel ( 10 ), a piston ( 15 ) for pressurizing the polymer, carbon dioxide sources ( 20 ) for lowering the viscosity of the polymer or pressurizing the collection vessel ( 35 ), a pressure generator ( 25 ), view ports ( 30 ), a target ( 36 ), a spinning needle ( 40 ), a camera/TV recorder ( 45 ) and a voltage source ( 50 ). |
