Structure and properties of electrospun PLLA single nanofibres.
TL;DR: The tensile test results indicated that higher take-up velocity caused higher tensile modulus and strength due to the ordered structure developed through the process, although these two parameters played an important role in controlling the fibre diameter.

Processing of Polymer Nanofibers Through Electrospinning as Drug Delivery Systems
TL;DR: In this article, electrospun fibers were developed as a new system for the delivery of ketoprofen as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and the results showed that the release rates from polycaprolactone, polyurethane and their blend were similar.

Electrospun cellulose acetate fiber mats containing curcumin and release characteristic of the herbal substance
TL;DR: Curcumin-loaded CA fiber mats fabricated, for the first time, from the neat CA solution were proven non-toxic to normal human dermal fibroblasts and the integrity of the as-loaded curcumin was intact as indicated by the 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometric results.

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.
