Fabrication and characterization of poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan blend nanofibers produced by electrospinning method
TL;DR: A series of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (CS) blend nanofibrous membranes with different weight ratio of PVA to CS were fabricated by electrospinning method as discussed by the authors.

Coaxial electrospinning of (fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated bovine serum albumin)-encapsulated poly(epsilon-caprolactone) nanofibers for sustained release.
TL;DR: It was found that core-sheath nanofibers PCL-r-fitcBSA/PEG pronouncedly alleviated the initial burst release for higher protein loading and gave better sustainability compared to that of PCL/fitc bovine serum albumin/ PEG nanofiber, which would provide a basis for further design and optimization of processing conditions to control the nanostructure.

TL;DR: Electrostatic spinning was applied to the preparation of drug-laden nonbiodegradable nanofiber for potential use in topical drug administration and wound healing to assess whether these systems might be of interest as delivery systems for poorly water-soluble drugs.

Electrospun Water-Soluble Carboxyethyl Chitosan/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanofibrous Membrane as Potential Wound Dressing for Skin Regeneration
TL;DR: The potential use of the CECS/PVA electrospun fiber mats as scaffolding materials for skin regeneration was evaluated in vitro using mouse fibroblasts (L929) as reference cell lines and results showed that fibrous mats were good in promoting the cell attachment and proliferation.

Disintegration of Water Drops in an Electric Field
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a conical interface between two fluids can exist in equilibrium in an electric field, but only when the cone has a semi-vertical angle 49.3$^\circ$.

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.

Electrically driven jets
TL;DR: Van Dyke as mentioned in this paper measured the potentials at which viscous jets or drops first appear in a parallel electric field and compared with calculations of A. B. Basset and found that their stability is due to mechanical rather than electrical causes, like a stretched string, which is straight when pulled but bent when pushed.
