Dual electrospinning with sacrificial fibers for engineered porosity and enhancement of tissue ingrowth.
TL;DR: Increased PEO to PU fraction in the scaffold resulted in predictable losses to mechanical strength and improvements to cellular infiltration, which could make PEOto PU fraction a useful optimization parameter for small diameter vascular grafts.

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.
