Solvent effects on jet evolution during electrospinning of semi-dilute polystyrene solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, a high speed camera was used to study the jet breakdown behavior of linear polystyrene with various solvents including tetrahydrofuran (THF), chloroform, carbon disulfide (CS2), 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP), and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) to produce solutions.

Polyvinyl alcohol composite nanofibres containing conjugated levofloxacin-chitosan for controlled drug release
Javid Jalvandi,Javid Jalvandi,Max White,Yuan Gao,Yen Bach Truong,Rajiv Padhye,Ilias Louis Kyratzis +6 more
TL;DR: Improved system based on the incorporation of drug conjugated-chitosan into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofibers indicates that conjugation of the drug to the polymer backbone is an effective way of minimizing burst release behaviour and achieving sustained release of thedrug, LVF.

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$^\circ$.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
