Absolute and convective instability of a charged viscoelastic liquid jet
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effect of electric field and elasticity on the absolute and convective instability characteristic of the first non-axisymmetric modes of a viscoelastic jet and showed that increasing jet velocity or decreasing jet radius may effectively avoid the occurrence of absolute instability.

Effect of tethering chemistry of cationic surfactants on clay exfoliation, electrospinning and diameter of PMMA/clay nanocomposite fibers
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of tethering chemistry of cationic surfactants on exfoliation of montmorillonite (MMT) clay dispersed in methyl methacrylate (MMA) followed by in-situ polymerization to form poly(methyl methacelate) (PMMA) nanocomposites, the effect of exfoliated and clay loading on the rheology of polymer/clay dispersions in dimethyl formamide, and the diameters of nanocomposition fibers formed from these dispersions by electrospinning.

Multiple conjugate electrospinning method for the preparation of continuous polyacrylonitrile nanofiber yarn
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of the applied voltage, flow rate, spinning distance, and funnel rotary speed on the diameter and mechanical properties of nanofiber yarns were analyzed, and the diameter of the yarns increased dramatically and then remained stable with increasing overall flow rate.

Fabrication and characterization of electrospun nanofibers of high DP natural cotton lines cellulose
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of cellulose concentration, flow rate and electric field strength on the morphologies of the fibers were systematically investigated and two effective improvements on the electrospinning apparatus were made: heating the pathway between the needle and the collector instead of the needle or the collector, and covering the drum with activated cellulose flake.

Dynamics of an electrically charged polymer jet
TL;DR: In this article, a FENE-P constitutive equation is employed to describe the viscoelastic properties of a conducting polymer liquid and the effects of the electric field, the flow rate, and the material parameters on the jet dynamics are investigated.
