【 摘 要 】

Due to high surface area and porosity, the applications of nanofibers have increased in recent years. In the production process, determination of average fiber diameter and fiber orientation is crucial for quality assessment. The objective of present study was to compare the relative performance of different methods discussed in literature for estimation of fiber diameter. In this work, the existing automated fiber diameter analysis software packages available in literature were developed and validated based on simulated images of known fiber diameter. Finally, all methods were compared for their reliable and accurate estimation of fiber diameter in electro spun nanofiber membranes based on obtained mean and standard deviation.
