Tethered Pyro-Electrohydrodynamic Spinning for Patterning Well-Ordered Structures at Micro- and Nanoscale

lthough electrospinning (ES) allows the production ofunsurpassed nanoscale polymer fibers, the major draw-backs are the nozzle-clogging and single-jet spinneret,respectively. This is a real limitation in terms of usablepolymers and for patterning active organics. Nowadays themicro-engineering of smart materials could represent a newroute for many fields of technology ranging from theproduction of electronic and photonic devices
