TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of two of the most important processing parameters, spinning voltage and solution concentration, on the morphology of the fibers formed were evaluated systematically, and it was found that spinning voltage is strongly correlated with the formation of bead defects in the fibers, and that current measurements may be used to signal the onset of the processing voltage at which the bead defect density increases substantially.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the feasibility of dampening this instability and controlling the deposition of sub-micron polymer fibers in the form of non-woven mats, which are of interest for a variety of applications including semi-permeable membranes, filters, composite reinforcement, and scaffolding.

TL;DR: In this paper, a series of random copolymers of PMMA-r-TAN from a mixed solvent of toluene and dimethyl formamide was used to produce sub-micron fibers with a specific surface chemistry through electrospinning.

TL;DR: Carbon nanofibers were produced from both polyacrylonitrile and mesophase pitch as discussed by the authors, and the interplane spacing of (002) planes was measured using wide angle x-ray diffraction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the tensile properties of continuous carbon nanotube (CNT) fibers are investigated by single fiber tensile tests and microdroplet tests, respectively, and the effective CNT fiber/epoxy interfacial shear strength is 14.4 MPa.
