In this study, we report an interesting new closed-loop structure in individual cerium nitrate/polyvinyl alcohol（Ce（NO3）3/PVA） and Na Cl/PVA fibers,which are fabricated by electrospinning with a nail collector. The electrospinning parameters such as voltage and Ce（NO3）3（or Na Cl） concentration are examined for the formation of the closed-loop structure. The results suggest that the increase of the spinning voltage or addition of Ce（NO3）3（or Na Cl） is favorable for the formation of the closed-loop structure, and the increase of loop numbers and the decrease of loop size. Further analyses indicate that the formation mechanism of the closed-loop fibers can be predominantly attributed to the Coulomb repulsion in the charged jets.展开更多
