Abstract
An apparatus for a production of two-dimensional or three-dimensional fibrous materials of microfibers or nanofibers containing a set of spinning metal nozzles connected to a first potential, a set of electrodes of a collector facing the set of the nozzles, arranged at regular spacing and connected to a second potential, and a collecting plate or a collecting cylinder for collecting microfibers or nanofibers settled between couples of adjacent electrodes of the collector. The substance of the invention is as follows: the set of the electrodes of the collector contains at least two electrodes of the collector arranged in a plane and the collecting plate in line of its intersection or a tangent to the collecting cylinder, that is perpendicular to a contact line with the plane of the electrodes of the collector, form with the plane of the electrodes of the collector an angle α, the size of which ranging between 0° and 90°, the collecting plate or the collecting cylinder being supported movably in relation to the electrodes of the collector in a direction lying in the plane that is perpendicular to the plane of the electrodes of the collector and in which the axis of the electrode lies, the direction of the collecting plate or the collecting cylinder movement forming with this electrode axis an angle β, the size of which ranging between 0° and 90°. Such arrangement enables creating of large areal and voluminous objects of ordered nanofibers.
