本研究在電紡絲實驗下測量電流數據，透過施加高壓電以及設定流量，待溶液從針底排出成形成Taylor cone及液柱最後溶劑揮發成纖維落在收集板上後，使用電表即可測得電流數據，不同溶液電紡所得之電流對電壓關係皆不相同，本實驗將比較其差異並加以探討。

在高溫環境下將同排聚丙烯溶解在鄰二氯苯中置備8 wt% iPP/o-DCB溶液，並在其中添加0.5 wt%的四正丁基過氯酸銨提高溶液導電度，接著同樣也在高溫環境下進行電紡絲實驗。大多數電紡絲實驗皆是以固體收集裝置來收集纖維，收集到的纖維排列緊密，並會互相沾黏成纖維膜，本研究在電紡8 wt% iPP/o-DCB溶液實驗中使用循環水流收集裝置收集iPP纖維，目的是要收集到排列鬆散的纖維。因為使用不斷循環流動的水流收集纖維，落入水面的纖維會沿著水流方向流動，因此纖維會在落下的第一時間被帶走，不會堆積在一起，實驗中也使用相機記錄並觀察纖維在水面上流動的情形，並透掃描式電子顯微鏡來分析所收集到的纖維。

In this study, current is measured in electrospinning. By applying high voltage and setting the flow rate, the solution is ejected from the needle tip, forming Taylor cone and jet. As the solvent evaporates, fibers are deposited on the grounded collector, and the current can be measured using an ammeter. The relationship between current and voltage differs for various solutions used in electrospinning. This experiment will compare and analyze these differences.

In the experimental, isotactic polypropylene (iPP) is dissolved in ortho-dichlorobenzene (o-DCB) to prepare an 8 wt% iPP/o-DCB solution in high temperature, with the addition of 0.5 wt% tetrabutylammonium perchlorate to increase the solution's conductivity. The electrospinning is also conducted under the high temperature conditions. In most electrospinning, fibers are collected using a solid collector, resulting in tightly packed fibers that adhere to each other to form a fiber mat. In this study, flowing water collector is used to collect iPP fibers. The goal is to collect loosely arranged fibers, because the continuously flowing water carries the fibers away immediately from water surface, preventing them accumulating. The experiment also includes recording and observing the fibers' movement on the flowing water surface using the camera, and analyzing the fibers with SEM.
