Abstract
A nanofiber manufacturing apparatus for fabricating nanofibers from a raw material liquid by electrostatic explosions includes a housing internally having an electrospinning space in which nanofibers are fabricated, and a support structure for supporting an electrospinning head including nozzles for ejecting the raw material liquid into the electrospinning space. The support structure is fittable to and removable from the housing and is enabled to self-stand in a state of having been removed from the housing.
