Abstract
Described herein are apparatuses and methods of creating fibers, such as microfibers and nanofibers, which include additives that modify one or more properties of the produced fibers. The methods discussed herein employ centrifugal forces to transform material into fibers. Apparatuses that may be used to create fibers are also described.
