A mucoadhesive electrospun nanofibrous matrix for rapid oramucosal drug delivery
Clare Dott,Charu Tyagi,Lomas K. Tomar,Yahya E. Choonara,Pradeep Kumar,Lisa C. du Toit,Viness Pillay +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a nanofibrous matrix system (NFMS) consisting of a drug-loaded nanofiber layer was electrospun directly onto a polymeric backing film, the latter was formulated and optimized according to a 3-level, 3-factor Box-Behnken experimental design.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
