Abstract
Described herein are apparatuses and methods of creating fibers, such as microfibers and nanofibers. The methods discussed herein employ centrifugal forces to transform material into fibers. Apparatuses that may be used to create fibers are also described. To improve the collection of fibers, various devices and systems for controlling the deposition pattern of the produced fibers are described.
