Optimization of the electrospinning conditions for preparation of nanofibers from polyvinylacetate (PVAc) in ethanol solvent
TL;DR: In this article, a polyvinylacetate (PVAc) fiber with a diameter of about 700nm was used for electrospinning and a high voltage of 15kV was applied.

Osteogenic Differentiation of Marrow Stromal Cells on Random and Aligned Electrospun Poly(l-lactide) Nanofibers
TL;DR: The results indicate that BMS cells aligned in the direction of PLLA fibers to form long cell extensions, and fiber orientation affected the extent of mineralization, but it had no effect on cell proliferation or mRNA expression of osteogenic markers.

Fabrication of burst pressure competent vascular grafts via electrospinning: Effects of microstructure
TL;DR: Surprisingly, highly oriented fiber and maximal tensile properties are not absolutely necessary to attain clinically adequate burst pressures and electrospun structures displaying no discernable alignment could achieve burst pressures regarded clinically sufficient.

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.
