Bending instability of electrically charged liquid jets of polymer solutions in electrospinning

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed and explained the reasons for the instability of a viscous jet of polymer solution at a pendent droplet, showing that the longitudinal stress caused by the external electric field acting on the charge carried by the jet stabilized the straight jet for some distance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drop Impact Dynamics: Splashing, Spreading, Receding, Bouncing ...

TL;DR: In this article, a review deals with drop impacts on thin liquid layers and dry surfaces, referred to as splashing, and their propagation is discussed in detail, as well as some additional kindred, albeit nonsplashing, phenomena like drop spreading and deposition, receding (recoil), jetting, fingering, and rebound.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electrospinning jets and polymer nanofibers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the formation and elongation of polymer nanofibers by creating and elongating an electrified fluid jet, which is often, but not necessarily constrained by an orifice, through a straight segment of a tapering cone, then through a series of successively smaller electrically driven bending coils, with each bending coil having turns of increasing radius, and finally solidifying into a continuous thin fiber.

Springer Handbook of Experimental Fluid Mechanics

TL;DR: A central organizing theme of this handbook is that 'experimental fluid mechanics" can be understood as a parallel activity to that described above, in which basic expressions are combined to analyze a given problem and to derive new information and insight from the resulting mathematical steps of the analysis.
