RESEARCH SUMMARY
This study introduces a low-environment-dependent, portable, high‑speed multi‑material electrospinning device (LEPHE) that leverages a gas–electric coupling field to decouple jet formation from fiber delivery. By integrating an internal electric field with a coaxial air stream and a multi‑needle head featuring alternating bifurcated channels, LEPHE mitigates ambient sensitivity (humidity/temperature/airflow), enhances deposition uniformity, and enables in situ fabrication of composite nanofiber films. The platform supports on‑demand stacking of dissimilar polymers and controlled mixing ratios within single layers, achieving uniform co‑deposition with significantly improved throughput compared to conventional single‑material, open‑environment electrospinning.

CELLSCALE INSTRUMENT USED

UniVert

Mechanical performance of the electrospun membranes was evaluated using a CellScale UniVert multifunction tensile testing machine (Waterloo, ON, Canada). Uniaxial tensile tests were conducted at a crosshead speed of 10 mm/min to quantify Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation at break for single‑material and multi‑material films. UniVert data were used to benchmark LEPHE‑fabricated films against conventional electrospinning, demonstrating consistent mechanical uniformity under varied ambient conditions and validating the device’s capability for on‑site, high‑throughput composite film production.
