Abstract: In this study, electrospun nanofibers of polyurethane were prepared utilizing a new
solvent system made of chloroform/methanol. Also, we planned to assess effects of four important
parameters on diameter of electrospun polyurethane nanofibers using Artificial Neural Networks
(ANNs). The parameters investigated included flow rate of syringe pump, distance of spinneret to
collector, applied voltage and concentration of polymer solution. Diameter of obtained electrospun
nanofibers was measured using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results showed that flow rate
and distance had reverse relation with fiber diameter, while applied voltage and concentration of
polymer solution directly affected the diameter. Also, polymer concentration was shown to be the
dominant factor here.
