Using poly[2-methoxy-5-(2′-ethyl-hexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene] as shell to fabricate the highly fluorescent nanofibers by coaxial electrospinning
TL;DR: In this article, the core-shell structured nanofibers were fabricated by coaxial electrospinning MEH-PPV (shell) in chlorobenzene and PVP (core) in 1,2-dichloroethane.

Jagadeesh Babu Veluru,K. K. Satheesh,D.C. Trivedi,Murthy V. Ramakrishna,Natarajan Tirupattur Srinivasan +4 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple technique for obtaining polymer nano fibers is described. But the technique is not suitable for high-dimensional sensors, as they have large surface area to volume ratio and hence have excellent application potential in sensors.

Morphology Tuning of Electrospun Liquid Crystal/Polymer Fibers
TL;DR: It is shown that the morphology of the phase-separated liquid crystal can be continuously tuned from capsules to uniform fibers with systematic formation of beads-on-a-string structured fibers in the intermediate ranges.

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.
