Electrospinning
Centrifugal spinning
Centrifugal spinning (CS) (sometimes called force spinning or rotary jet-spinning) is an emerging nanofiber fabrication process that overcomes many of the disadvantages associated with electrospinning. In this process, polymer jets are generated. They are then elongated to form fibers due to centrifugal forces regardless of high voltage, enabling micro-nanofibers' formation from both conductive and nonconductive polymer solutions. Furthermore, CS has much higher productivity compared with electrospinning, which is essential for practical application.

In our previous works, CS was utilized to fabricate microfibers for oil-water separation and radiation colorimetric sensors.

Fibrous membrane
for oil-water separation
Oil-water separation recently received much attention due to the frequent oil spills and the increase of oily wastewater released from the industry. Recently, micro-nano fibers with supper wettability have been considered as emerging materials for oil-water separation. Compared to conventional separation techniques, polymeric micro/nanofibers with superwetting properties are attractive for oil-water separation because of their facile surface modification, high flexibility, high porosity, and high oil-water separation for different kinds of oil-water mixtures.​
