Ghashghaie, A. Bazargan, M. Ganji, E. Marzbanrad, C. Zamani, B. Raissi, M. Keyanpour-rad, M. Bahrevar] In present study, the behavior of electrospun ZnO nanofibers under the application of low frequency alternating (AC) electric fields within the range of 1Hz-20kHz was investigated using planar parallel electrodes. In the first stage, ZnO nanofibers with diameters up to 100nm were prepared by electrospinning. At 1Hz, the strong electric field-induced fluid flow due to charge redistribution around the electrode swept the fibers on the electrode surface farther from the edges. As the frequency was increased to 1kHz, most depositing fibers accumulated on the electrode edges and in the meantime, a small fraction of them was pushed into the surface as a result of AC electroosmosis effect. Above 1kHz, the fibers were assembled within the electrode gap bridging the interelectrode space. The dielectrophoresis force was considered responsible for the assembly and relative alignment of ZnO nanofibers above 1kHz. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, 2011 Ghashghaie S.
