Fabrication of biodegradable elastomeric scaffolds with sub-micron morphologies.
TL;DR: An approach has been demonstrated that mimics elastic extracellular matrices by using a synthetic component to provide mechanical function together with a biomacromolecule, collagen, which may find application in engineering soft tissue.

Influence of Processing Conditions on Polymorphism and Nanofiber Morphology of Electroactive Poly(vinylidene fluoride) Electrospun Membranes
TL;DR: In this paper, a 20% w/w solution of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) electrospun membranes are obtained from a 20 % w/W solution of the polymer in dimethyl formamide and the processing parameters are systematically changed to analyze their influence on fiber morphology, fiber orientation, and on the crystallinity and crystal phase of the membranes.

Influence of electrospun collagen on wound contraction of engineered skin substitutes
TL;DR: ES scaffolds can be used to fabricate skin substitutes with optimal cellular organization and can potentially reduce wound contraction compared to FD scaffolds, which may lead to reduced morbidity in patients treated with skin substitutes fabricated from ES collagen.

Mineralization of hydroxyapatite in electrospun nanofibrous poly(L-lactic acid) scaffolds.
TL;DR: A highly porous electrospun poly(L-lactic acid) nanofibrous scaffold was used as a matrix for mineralization of hydroxyapatite and it was found that a minuscule amount of anionic additives in the SBF could effectively inhibit the mineral growth.

Electrospinning of ultrafine cellulose acetate fibers: Studies of a new solvent system and deacetylation of ultrafine cellulose acetate fibers
TL;DR: In this article, the deacetylation of cellulose acetate (CA) fibers was investigated in a new solvent system and the resulting ultrafine CA fibers (∼2.3 μm) were successfully prepared via electrospinning of CA in a mixed solvent of acetone/water at water contents of 10 − 15 wt %.

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.
