Abstract

In this research, cellulose acetate fiber was produced by electrospinning method. Cellulose acetate was dissolved with acetone solvent and then putin to a cooling system torestrain the rate of evaporation of cellulose acetate. The conductivity and evaporation rate of the cellulose acetate solution were tested, and the cellulose acetate fiber sproduced were tested using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The conductivity of the cellulose acetate solutionwas 3.45 S/cm at 15^oC and almost doubled at 22^oC. The cooling system test was ableto maintain the temperature of the cellulose acetate solution at 15 ^oC for approximately 2 minutes. In addition, bead fibers are produced due to their low conductivity.
