Electrospinning technique was used to produce PVC micro-fibers. The results shows that the diameter of the micro-fiber decreased with increasing the high voltage applied, the conductivity of the solution and the tip-collector distances which is about 5-10 cm. Also, micro-fiber diameter increased with increasing the viscosity , flow rate, the tip diameter and the concentration of the PVC/THF solution. However, using the dc high voltage lead to smaller fiber-diameter than the ac high voltage. But, with latter gives better micro-fiber alignment.
