Abstract
In this paper, using artificial neural network (ANN) method to find the effects
of electrospinning parameters including spinning distance (cm), applied voltage
(kV), and volume flow rate (mL/ h) on the porosity of electrospun nanofiber
membrane is mainly studied. The porosity of the nanofiber membrane was
obtained through the Matlab software to calculate the pixel value. The study
found that the applied voltage (kV) and the spinning distance (cm) on the
nanofiber membrane porosity have greater impact. The correlation coefficient
between the variables and ANN model (𝑅2=0.996) shows splendid fitting with
experimental data. The ANN model predicted the maximum porosity (59.88%)
of electrospinning nanofiber membrane at the conditions of 19 cm of spinning
distance, 26 kV of the applied voltage and 0.5 mL/h of volume flow rate.

1 Introduction
Electrospinning refers to a spinning technique in which a polymer solution or
melt is spray-drawn under electrostatic action to obtain nanofibers.
Electrospinning is a special fiber-making process in which polymer solutions or
melts are spun in strong electric fields. Under the action of an electric field, the
droplet at the needle will change from spherical to conical (ie, "Taylor cone")
and extend from the tip of the cone to form a filament [1]. This method produces
nano-diameter polymer filaments. Electrospinning process parameters affecting
porosity can be divided into four categories: polymer properties, solute
properties, solution properties and experimental parameters [2-4]. This paper
focuses on the fourth category.
The porosity of a fibrous membrane, expressed as a percentage, refers to the
ratio of the pore volume of the fibrous membrane to the total volume of the
fibrous membrane [5]. The porosity of nanofiber membranes has great
application in filtration, tissue engineering and so on [5-7]. The measurement of
the porosity of nanofibrous membrane includes density method, solution
replacement method [8, 9]. Matlab and Photoshop are used to measure the
porosity of electrospun nanofiber membrane.
Artificial neural network is model that simulates the behavior characteristics
of animal neural network and carries out distributed parallel information
processing. The earliest proposed imitation of human brain function is the MP
model established by American scientists Pitts and McCulloch in 1934. Artificial
neural network is a multi-layer structure of the feedforward network, mainly by
the input layer, the hidden layer and the output layer of three parts. Each node in
the input layer corresponds to a predictor variable. The node of the output layer
corresponds to the target variable, there may be more than one. Between the
input layer and the output layer is hidden layer, hidden layer and the number of
nodes in each layer determines the complexity of the neural network. In recent
years, the use of neural networks on the porosity has attracted the interest of
many scholars [1, 10-12]. In this paper, the influence of electrospinning process
parameters on the porosity of nanofiber membranes is studied by means of
neural network. A new mathematical method is provided to study the porosity of
nanofiber membranes.

2 Experimental
2.1 Materials
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with number-average molecule weight (Mn) of
84000~89000, alcoholysis degree of 86 ~ 89 mol% and the average degree of
polymerization 1700 ~ 1800.was purchased from Changchun Petrochemical Co.,
Ltd.,Taiwan.
2.2 Preparation of electrospun nanofibers
Polyvinyl alcohol was dissolved in distilled water to prepare a polyvinyl
alcohol solution with a concentration of 12 wt %. The obtained mixed solution
was stirred in a water bath at 80 ° C for 1 h until a homogeneous solution was
formed, and then defibrated for standing.
2.3 Sample preparation
At room temperature, pour the prepared spinning solution into four 5-ml
syringes with a needle diameter of 1.2 mm. From the previous studies, the
process parameters of electrospun nanofiber nonwoven technology parameters
are five, namely: spinning time to take 90 minutes, solution concentration of 12
wt %; spinning distance (cm) take 11,13,15,17,19; applied voltage (kV) take
15,18,20,23,26; volume flow rate (ml/ h) take 0.5,0.7,1,1.2,1.5. In order to
experiment the generality, the mathematical method of orthogonal experiment
was used and five experiments was added on this basis as shown in TableⅠ and
Table Ⅱ to design experiments.

2.4 Morphological characterization
The surface of polyvinyl alcohol nanofiber membrane with different
parameters under vacuum condition was sprayed with gold. The morphology
after treatment was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM,TM-3030,
Japan) coating with magnification of 2000. Figure 1 shows the SEM micrograph
of electrospun nanofiber mat.

2.5 Threshold determination
In Photoshop, the threshold command turns a gray scale or color image into a
high-contrast black-and-white image. We can specify a color scale as a threshold,
all pixels that are brighter than the threshold to white, and all pixels that are
darker than the threshold to black. In this paper, the scanning electron
micrographs of the nanofiber membranes are imported into Photoshop. The
SEM is transformed into gray scale images, the thresholds of the images are
adjusted, and a suitable threshold is found by observing changes of the images.
2.6Porosity measurement
The pixel values corresponding to each position in the scanning electron
micrograph (SME) are calculated by Matlab software. Then, using the threshold
values obtained above, the part larger than the threshold value is a white pixel
value, that is, a non-porous part. Matlab procedures are as follows:
filename='1.jpg';
ddata=imread(num2str(filename));
figure;imshow(ddata);
gdata=rgb2gray(ddata);
figure;imshow(gdata);
xlswritecopy('1.xls',gdata)
Thus the porosity can be calculated as follows:

Where n is the pixel value of the white portion, N is the pixel value of the entire image, and N is the porosity of the nanofiber membrane.
2.7 Experimental design
In this paper, only three process parameters (spinning distance, applied
voltage, volume flow rate) and one output parameter (porosity) are studied, so a
three-input neuron and one neural network model can be established, as shown
in Figure 2. For Hidden layer neurons, according to "hidden neurons try to
minimize the number of convergence as fast as possible, approaching the error
as small as possible" principle, we have been trained to select 12 hidden neurons.
Transfer function selection as 'transig', 'transig' such a transfer function, select
'trainlm' as a training function.

3.2 Artificial neural networks results
After observing the sample images, we can see that the 6 # and 18 # samples
have problems.
Figure 3 Samples of 6# and 18#
As we can see, 6 #, 18 # samples are almost no fiber, so two samples are
removed. Neural network model is trained and simulated using Matlab
2012a.The training of the ANN was stopped after 23 because the targeted MSE
value was reached, as shown in Figure 4. Then the functional relationship
between each parameter and porosity was obtained:

The relative importance of the nanofiber membrane porosity is calculated as
shown in Figure 7. The three process parameters have a strong influence on the
porosity of the nanofiber membrane. In the research, the influence of these three
parameters on the porosity of the nanofiber membrane should not be neglected.

3.4 Optimization
In this paper, the goal is to find the maximum porosity of nanofiber membrane. Optimization finds a set of conditions that meet the maximum
porosity. In Figure 5, the optimum conditions in the given range for maximum
porosity of electrospinning nanofiber membrane were 19 cm of spinning
distance, 26 kV of the applied voltage and 0.5 mL/h of volume flow rate. In
order to insure the predictive ability of the ANN model, more electrospinning
experiments were carried out. The result and experiment conditions was shown
in Table Ⅵ.

4 Conclusions
In this study the impact of three electrospinning parameters, namely applied
voltage (kV), spinning distance (cm), and volume flow rate (mL/h), on the
porosity of electrospun nanofiber mats was determined by ANN. The porosity of
the nanofiber membrane measured by the Matlab software is close to the
porosity of the nanofiber membrane simulated by the ANN, indicating that the
performance of ANN model for predicting was good. The results also showed
that the applied voltage and spinning were the two most critical parameters
affecting the porosity of the nanofiber mats. Increasing the spinning distance
resulted in less nanofiber mat porosity whereas increasing the applied voltage
caused an increase in nanofiber mat porosity.
