description Abstract The prospective utilization of electrospun nanofibers across diverse fields has elicited substantial scientific attention. Nevertheless, managing their diameter remains problematic due to the intricate interactions among electrospinning variables. This research explores the application of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks and multiple regression models to forecast the diameters of Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) and Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) nanofibers, facilitating improved process regulation and enhancement. TiO₂ + PVP nanofibers were fabricated under diverse conditions, including changes in applied voltage, solution concentration, and distance between tip to collector. The acquired data underwent analysis using LSTM and regression models to assess their predictive capabilities. The outcomes revealed that both approaches effectively estimated nanofiber diameters; however, the regression model surpassed LSTM with a lower error rate of 0.077% compared to 0.305%. This indicates that while LSTM captures nonlinear relationships, conventional regression models yield more precise predictions in this scenario. These findings underscore the potential of machine learning in advancing electrospinning technology by minimizing trial-and-error experiments and boosting nanofiber production efficiency. The incorporation of artificial intelligence-driven modeling into the electrospinning process sets the stage for more accurate control over fiber morphology, resulting in enhanced material properties and expanded applications in biomedical, environmental, and energy sectors.
