AB - Bubble electrospinning is a novel method to produce ultrafine nanofibers. In this work, a
mathematical model of the electric field distribution in a critical state was established for bubble
electrospinning process and was numerically simulated using finite element method. The results indicated
that the maximum electric force occurred at the tip of the bubble, it is probably for this reason that the first
jet occurs at the tip of the bubble, when the electrical force exceeds the surface tension, which also possibly
induces bubble bursting.
