In an embodiment, an electrospinning apparatus includes a transfer unit, a spinning head and an air ejection unit. In the transfer unit, a transfer target is transferred along a transfer direction, and a spinning head is capable of ejecting a material liquid toward the transfer unit from a first direction, which intersects the transfer direction. The air ejection unit forms an air flow that flows across the transfer unit toward an area located on an opposite side across the transfer unit in a second direction, which intersects both the transfer direction and the first direction, by ejecting air against the transfer unit from one side of the second direction.

Electrospinning apparatus and electrospinning method

According to one embodiment, a determination method is provided. The determination method determines progress of a treatment of a side-product produced in a process of reacting a substance containing a halogen and silicon or reacting a substance containing silicon and a substance containing a halogen. The treatment of the side-product includes bringing the side-product into contact with a treatment fluid containing water to obtain a first solid matter. The determination method includes determining the progress of the treatment of the side-product based on a signal according to a chemical analysis of at least one of an Si-α bond (α is at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br, and I) and an Si—H bond, of the first solid matter.

Determination method and treatment method

According to an embodiment, a process apparatus performs processing on a byproduct generated in a reaction of a raw material including silicon and a halogen element or in a reaction between a raw material including silicon and a raw material including a halogen element. The apparatus includes a process liquid tank, a processing tank, a supplier and an exhauster. A process target member including the byproduct is introduced into the processing tank. The supplier supplies the process liquid from the process liquid tank to the processing tank and performs processing on the byproduct with the supplied process liquid. The exhauster exhausts a gas generated by reaction between the process liquid and the byproduct from the processing tank.

Process apparatus and process method

According to one embodiment, a silicon-containing product forming apparatus includes a reaction chamber, an emission path, a process liquid tank, a supplier, and a flow path switcher. The emission path emits an emission material from the reaction chamber. The supplier includes a supply line configured to supply a process liquid to the emission path from the process liquid tank, and a byproduct generated by reaction is treated in the emission path by the supplied process liquid. The flow path switcher switches the communication state of the emission path with each of the reaction chamber and the supply line of the supplier.

Silicon-containing product forming apparatus

According to an embodiment, an electrospinning head includes a nozzle and an uneven surface. The nozzle is made from an electrically conductive material, and a flow path is formed inside the nozzle. On the outer surface of the nozzle, an ejection port capable of ejecting a material liquid supplied to the flow path is formed. The uneven surface is formed in the vicinity of the projection port on the outer surface of the nozzle, and an uneven shape of the uneven surface is formed around the entire circumference of the circumferential direction of the nozzle and is along the extending direction of the flow path.

Electrospinning head, electrospinning apparatus, and cleaning method of electrospinning head

According to an embodiment, an electrospinning apparatus includes an electrospinning head and a storage case. The electrospinning head includes a nozzle capable of ejecting a material liquid and is movable between a first move position and a second move position. In the storage case, a storage hollow capable of accommodating a nozzle is formed, and an opening to the outside of the storage hollow is formed in the storage case. The storage case causes the nozzle of the electrospinning head located at the first move position to be arranged at a position separate from the storage hollow and causes the nozzle of the electrospinning head located at the second move position to be accommodated inside the storage hollow.

Electrospinning apparatus

According to one embodiment, a cleaner head includes a first rotor, a second rotor, and a contact surface. The first rotor can be rotationally driven in a state where an outer peripheral surface of the first rotor is in contact with a sheet that includes organic fiber and is formed on a base, and can remove a part of the sheet from the base. The second rotor is arranged next to the first rotor in a direction along a rotation axis of the first rotor, and is rotated together with the first rotor in a state where the second rotor is not in contact with the sheet. The contact surface is in contact with an outer peripheral surface of the second rotor at a position away from the sheet around the rotation axis.

According to an embodiment, an electrospinning apparatus includes: a transport roll; and a head unit. The transport roll is a roll that transports a substrate. The transport has a transport surface that is in contact with the substrate when transporting the substrate. The transport surface of the transport roll has a surface roughness Ra of 1.6 or less. The head unit ejects a raw material liquid of fiber toward the substrate transported by the transport roll to form a film of the fiber on the substrate.

According to one embodiment, a spinning apparatus includes a spinning head and a rotational brush. An organic material is filled up inside the spinning head, and the spinning head ejects the organic material on a surface of a base to form a sheet of the organic fiber on the surface of the base. The rotational brush includes a plurality of brush bristles and is rotated while the brush bristles are in contact with the sheet in the surface of the base. The rotational brush strips the organic fiber from a part of the sheet by the rotation.

Spinning apparatus

In one embodiment, an electrospinning head has a nozzle unit and a control body. The nozzle unit is arranged opposite to a base material, is applied with a voltage, and thereby is capable of discharging a raw material liquid of fiber. The control body is arranged in the vicinity of the nozzle unit so as to extend to an outside of a spinning space between the base material and the nozzle unit. Further, the control body is applied with a voltage of the same polarity as the voltage to be applied to the nozzle unit, and thereby is capable of making an electric field to be generated at the periphery of the nozzle unit.

Electrospinning head and electrospinning apparatus

An electrospinning apparatus according to an embodiment is configured to deposit a fiber on a collector or a member. The electrospinning apparatus includes a first nozzle head provided on one side of the collector or the member, and a second nozzle head provided on the side opposite to the first nozzle head with the collector or the member interposed. The first nozzle head and the second nozzle head are at a section where the collector or the member moves in a direction tilted with respect to a horizontal direction.
