Preparation of Core−Shell Structured PCL-r-Gelatin Bi-Component Nanofibers by Coaxial Electrospinning
TL;DR: A TEM image of core−shell structured bi-component nanofiber produced by a coaxial electrospinning technique is presented in this article, where the core and shell are polymers of gelatin and PCL, respectively.

Drug-loaded electrospun mats of poly(vinyl alcohol) fibres and their release characteristics of four model drugs
TL;DR: The 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance results confirmed that the electrospinning process did not affect the chemical integrity of the drugs, and the drug-loaded electrospun PVA mats exhibited much better release characteristics of the model drugs than drug- loaded as-cast films.

TL;DR: Aligned and bioactive nan ofibrous scaffolds are developed by immobilizing extracellular matrix protein and growth factor onto nanofibers, which simulated the physical and biochemical properties of native matrix fibrils, which induced neurite outgrowth and enhanced skin cell migration during wound healing.

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.
