An Investigation Of Using Grey Scale Image Analysis For Predicting The Amount Of Deposited Electrospun Nanofibres

When electrospinning, the amount of electrospun fibres deposited is difficult to determine due to the extremely small size and light weight of the fibres. Several methods have been used to predict the amount of deposited fibres including weighing, imaging and direct measurement. Yet, these methods h...
