High speed motor driven centrifugal force becomes a major factor in the formation of fibers. RF apparatus consists of three main parts namely the motor system, the collector, and the heating system that serves to regulate the temperature and humidity around the motor. The liquid polymer was poured in the motor holder and rotated at high speed so that the liquid was dropped from the tip of the needle to the collector in the form of fibers. In this study, the liquid polymer was from waste polystyrene foam (styrofoam) soaked in acetone at a certain ratio. The observation was done with the digital microscope up to 1000 times of magnification. The produced styrofoam fibers were varied in diameter and smooth like cotton with an average fiber diameter in micrometer. The utilization of waste styrofoam into the fibers is expected to reduce the environmental problems caused by waste styrofoam.[/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]Average fiber diameters,Centrifugal Forces,Digital microscopes,Environmental problems,Rotary forcespinning,Styrofoam,Temperature and humidities,Waste polystyrene[/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]Fiber,Microscope,Rotary forcespinning,Styrofoam[/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/MSF.827.279[/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]
