Nanofibrous poly(lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds for guided tissue regeneration.
TL;DR: The results show that the mixture of PLA and HA formed smooth nanofibers without lumps, and the incorporation of HA increased the mechanical strength of the nan ofibers and changed the morphology, increasing the mean fiber diameter and pore size.

Emulsion electrospun vascular endothelial growth factor encapsulated poly(l-lactic acid-co-ε-caprolactone) nanofibers for sustained release in cardiac tissue engineering
TL;DR: Results of this study demonstrated that the emulsion electrospun VEGF containing core–shell structured PLCL nanofibers offered controlled release of V EGF through the emulsive electrospinning of core-shell structured nan ofibers and could be potential substrates for cardiac tissue 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.
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.
