Increasing strength of electrospun nanofiber membranes for water filtration using solvent vapor (2013, methodology): “The electrospinning took place at room temperature and the spinning relative humidity was controlled at 5–10% to maintain fiber uniformity [23].”
Porous electrospun polycaprolactone (PCL) fibres by phase separation (2015, background): “The use of humidity to increase the porosity of electrospun fibres has also been proposed by other researchers [4,12,25].”
Hydrophilic nylon 6,6 nanofibers supported thin film composite membranes for engineered osmosis (2014, methodology): “The experiments were conducted at ambient temperature and humidity using a system described in our previous study [20,45].”
Pore formation in polystyrene fiber by superimposing temperature and relative humidity of electrospinning atmosphere (2012, methodology): “Upon examination of the various articles, the varieties of direct approaches that have been employed to reach porous structures within electrospun fibers can be classified as follow: • Electrospinning at different levels of relative humidity [17, 22, 24, 26-27, 28, 44, 47] • Using volatile solvents ”
