Abstract
and the power supply provides electricity in kilovolt. The prototype is an affordable device; its cost is around 99.5% less than the laboratory commercial devices. The average diameters of the fibers were determined from SEM micrographs with the aid of Image J software, which shows that the electrospinning device successfully produces fibres on a nanometer scale. Henceforth, this project can help educational institutions to have such electrospinning system with ultra-low cost comparing with readymade systems in the market.
