This document discusses two physical vapor approaches: electrospinning and physical vapor deposition. Electrospinning uses a high voltage electric field to produce nano- or micrometer-scale fibers from polymer solutions. It involves a polymer reservoir, spinneret, and collector. Physical vapor deposition uses evaporation or sputtering to deposit thin films of materials through condensation and reaction under vacuum. Common PVD techniques include evaporative deposition, sputter deposition, and cathode arc deposition. Both electrospinning and PVD have applications in filtration, tissue engineering, sensors, and coatings due to properties like high surface area and durability.
