An easy and simple method to prepare fibers is electrospinning. Using this method poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) fibers were prepared. Several parameters include polymer concentration, solution flow rate, the distance of the nozzle tip to the collector, and the applied voltage were investigated to control the morphology, structure, and diameter of PMMA fibers. The Optimal electrospinning conditions for PMMA fibers production were a PMMA concentration is 8% (w/v), a power supply voltage is 20 kV, a distance of the tip of the nozzle to the ground collector is 15 cm, and a flow rate is 0.004 mL/min. The diameter distribution and morphology of the fibers were determined and characterized by Optical Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), which showed that the produced fiber had an average diameter of 1.4925 μm, the contact angle of fiber PMMA is 125.307° and the spreading time of fibers PMMA is about 360 minutes.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Diameter distributions,High surface area,Lightweight materials,PMMA,Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA),Polymer concentrations,Power supply voltage,Solution flow rate[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Electrospinning,Fibers,PMMA[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.4028/www.scientific.net/KEM.811.163[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
