Effect of electrospinning parameters on the nanofiber diameter and length

TL;DR: Experimental results lead to the hypothesis that even longer continuous nanofibers over 50 cm could be collected if the size of the parallel plates were increased, and extending the maximum fiber length that can be collected across parallel plates could expand the applications of electrospinning.

The effect of processing variables on the morphology of electrospun nanofibers and textiles

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.

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.

Beaded nanofibers formed during electrospinning

TL;DR: The viscoelasticity of the solution, charge density carried by the jet, and the surface tension of the polymer solution are the key factors that influence the formation of the beaded fibers as discussed by the authors.
