Electrospinning of poly(vinyl alcohol)-water-soluble quaternized chitosan derivative blend
TL;DR: The results revealed that increasing HTCC content in the blends decreases the average fibre diameter and microbiological assessment showed that the PVA-HTCC mats have a good antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, Staphylococcus aureus, and Gram-negative bacteria, Escherichia coli.

Generation of Electrospun Nanofibers with Controllable Degrees of Crimping Through a Simple, Plasticizer‐Based Treatment
Wenying Liu,Justin Lipner,Christine H. Moran,Liangzhu Feng,Xiyu Li,Stavros Thomopoulos,Younan Xia,Younan Xia +7 more
TL;DR: Electrospun nanofibers with controllable degrees of crimping are fabricated by simply exposing the samples to a plasticizer at preset shrinkage ratios to mechanically mimic native tendon tissue and better protect tendon fibroblasts under uniaxial strains.

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.

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.
