    • Spinning solution Feed rate (mL/h) Spinning voltage (kV) Spinning state
      EA20 0.15~0.35 16~20 Dense jet flow but ejected material was powdery
      EA25 0.15~0.35 16~20 Dense jet flow but ejected material was powdery
      GE-EA20 0.15~0.35 16~20 Inadequate fiber stretching at nozzle, droplet spraying occured, with powdery output
      GE-EA25 0.15 16 Inadequate fiber stretching at nozzle
      18 Insufficient stretching velocity resulted in non-continuous spinning
      20 Insufficient stretching velocity resulted in non-continuous spinning
      0.35 16 Insufficient nozzle stretching led to droplet spraying
      18 Continuous spinning was achieved with stable fiber formation
      20 Continuous spinning was realized with fiber formation, yet the jet stream remained unstable
