Projeto, montagem e testes de fonte Cockcroft - Walton para Electrospinning

Abstract

Electrospinning is a way of spinning using an electric field, the wire formed has a nanometric diameter and is used in biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, electronics, in the area of semiconductors and energy generation. During electrospinning, the solution leaves a starter vessel and reaches a screen through the force of the electric field. The method fits according to the purpose of the experiment. For each objective there are a variety of polymers, solvents, the latter defining the operating ranges for: field strength, voltage and operating distance. A source was designed and assembled using the Cockcroft multiplier. For the design of the circuit, design and simulations were carried out. For validation, electrospinning was performed using the source.
