Spontaneous core-sheath formation in electrospun nanofibers
TL;DR: The metal-atom-rich core exhibited a 10 nm-scale structure while no such structure was observed in the metal atom-poor sheath as discussed by the authors, and both the repulsion of metal atoms by the positive surface charge and the exclusion of the metal atoms from the crystallizing front that moves inward from the surface were shown to contribute to the spontaneous formation of the core-sheath structure.

Electrospun Nanostructures Based on Polyurethane/MWCNTs for Strain Sensing Applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used electron microscopy to investigate nanofibers morphology and dispersion of MWCNTs in the electrospun polyurethane (PU) and PU/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) nanocomposite by electrospinning method.

Cell-compatible PHB/silk fibroin composite nanofibermat for tissue engineering applications
TL;DR: PHB and SF were blended together to improve the mechanical properties of the SF fibrous structure and the crystallinity of PHB and the cell-biomaterial interaction on the PHB/SF composite scaffold was expected to be enhanced via the SF.

Preparation and characterization of high‐molecular‐weight atactic poly(vinyl alcohol)/sodium alginate/silver nanocomposite by electrospinning
Young Jae Lee,Won Seok Lyoo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the addition of silver colloidal solution on the PVA/SA/silver nanocomposite was investigated through a series of experiments varying molecular weight of PVA and electrospinning processing parameters such as concentration of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and SSA blend ratio, applied voltage, and tip-to-collector distance.

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.
