Abstract: Helical fibres of PVP were fabricated by electrospinning. The morphologies of helical fibre were observed by Scanning Electron Microscopy. PVP ethanol solutions with different mass fractions(12%, 14%, 16%, 20% and 24%) were electrospun at the voltage of 9 kV. With increase of PVP mass fraction, the morphologies of PVP fiber changed from straight, helical, folded to disordered form. Helical fibres were obtained when the mass fractions of PVP solution changed in the range of 16%-20%. The solutions were also electrospun at different voltages from 6 kV to 13 kV, respectively. The result show those regular helical fibres could be obtained in a wide voltage range when PVP solution with a mass fration of 20% was electrospun. The mechanism of the formation of helical fibre was discussed. Coulomb excluding force between static charge carried by fibres during the process of electrospinning was the main factor to form helical fibre.
