Electrospinning of chitosan dissolved in concentrated acetic acid solution.
TL;DR: Only chitosan of a molecular weight of 106,000 g/mol produced bead-free chitOSan nanofibers, while low- or high-molecular-weight ch itosans of 30,000 and 398,000g/mol did not.

Conducting‐Polymer Nanotubes for Controlled Drug Release
TL;DR: A method to prepare conducting-polymer nanotubes that can be used for precisely controlled drug release and significantly decrease the impedance and increase the charge capacity of the recording electrode sites on microfabricated neural prosthetic devices is reported on.

Biodegradable electrospun fibers for drug delivery
TL;DR: It was shown that the drugs were capsulated inside of the fibers and the drug release in the presence of proteinase K followed nearly zero-order kinetics due to the degradation of the PLLA fibers.

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.
