Abstract
The invention is directed to an apparatus and methods for electrospinning composite fibers including polymeric material and mesoporous molecular sieve material. The methods include in one aspect electrospinning fibers from a conducting solution to which a high voltage electric current is applied. The apparatus includes in one aspect one or more conducting solution introduction devices for providing a quantity of conducting solution, the conducting solution introduction devices being electrically charged thereby establishing an electric field between the conduction solution introduction devices and a target, and means for controlling the flow characteristics of conducting solution from the conducting solution introduction devices.
