Abstract
Described herein are apparatuses and methods of creating fibers, such as microfibers and nanofibers, that 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. Fiber producing devices with features that enhance fiber production and adaptability to different types of fiber are described.
