In-vitro anticancer and antimicrobial activities of PLGA/silver nanofiber composites prepared by electrospinning
Fahad N. Almajhdi,H. Fouad,Khalil Abdelrazek Khalil,Hanem M. Awad,Sahar H. S. Mohamed,Tarek Elsarnagawy,Ahmed Albarrag,Fawzi F. Al-Jassir,Hany S. Abdo +8 more
TL;DR: PLGA nanofibers containing 7 % nano silver are suitable as anticancer- and antibiotic-drug delivery systems, as they will increase the anticancer as well as the antibiotic drug potency without cytotoxicity effect on the normal cells.

Novel methods of antiepileptic drug delivery - polymer-based implants
TL;DR: The focus of this review will be polymer-based implants, which are polymeric devices loaded with AED that are designed for implantation at the seizure focus in order to achieve gradual, continuous release of AED direct into the region of the brain responsible for seizures.

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.
