The influence of added ionic salt on nanofiber uniformity for electrospinning of electrolyte polymer
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology of electrospinning nanofiber was investigated using field emission scanning electron microscopy and the electric current was measured using a digital multimeter, and the results showed that uniform nanofibers which did not contain any beads were synthesized, while the current of electro-spinning process had two orders of amount higher than the non-added ionic salt droplet current.

Morphological Control of Centimeter Long Aluminum‐Doped Zinc Oxide Nanofibers Prepared by Electrospinning
Dandan Lin,Wei Pan,Hui Wu +2 more
TL;DR: In this article, the diameter and morphology of the nanofibers can be controlled by the applied voltage, the concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and the aluminum (Al) dopant.

Electrospinning of polylactide and its composites with carbon nanotubes
TL;DR: In this article, the results reveal that the PLA fibers obtained from the solutions using the mixed solvents of chloroform/assistant solvent (v/v 3/1) show better morphologies than those from the solution using chloromethane as the single solvent.

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.
