TL;DR: PLGA and PLCL EFs, incorporating the antiretroviral, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF), exhibited sustained-release for up to 4 weeks, and provided complete in vitro protection against HSV-2 and HIV-1 for 24h and 1 wk, respectively, based on the doses tested.

Degradation Behavior of Electrospun PLA and PLA/CNT Nanofibres in Aqueous Environment
TL;DR: In this article, the degradation behavior of electrospun nanofibres obtained from pure poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and modified with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous environment was compared using scanning electron microscopy, water contact angle measurements, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and mechanical testing.

TL;DR: Cell viability studies with Schwann cells demonstrated that ApF/P(LLA-CL) blended nanofibrous scaffolds significantly promoted cell growth as compare to P(LLa-CL), especially when the weight ratio of ApF to P-CL was 25:75, which provides a basis for further studies of this novel nanofiber material in peripheral nerve tissue repair or regeneration.

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.
