Biodegradable bead-on-spring nanofibers releasing β-carotene for bone tissue engineering.
TL;DR: The scaffold loaded with 4% β-carotene not only induced the early phase of osteogenesis but also advanced the differentiation to the osteoblast maturation phase and can be used as a substrate for direct bone tissue engineering.

Electrospinning of non-woven poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) nanofibrous webs for corrosive chemical filtration: Process evaluation and optimization by Taguchi and multiple regression analyses
T. Senthil,S. Anandhan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of governing parameters on morphology and variation in diameter of the electrospun fibers were experimentally investigated by orthogonal experimental design, and multiple regression analysis was used to obtain a quantitative relationship between selected electrospinning parameters and average fiber diameter.

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.
