Surface modification of poly(l-lactide) electrospun fibers with nanocrystal hydroxyapatite for engineered scaffold applications
TL;DR: In this paper, the hydrophobicity of the poly( l -lactide) surface was modified by incorporating hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanocrystalline particles during the electrospinning process for the engineered scaffold applications.

Hierarchically structured PMMA fibers fabricated by electrospinning
TL;DR: In this article, the role of solvents is pivotal for determining the primary and hierarchical structures of electrospun fibers, and it was concluded that vapor-induced phase separation by high relative humidity is the mechanism responsible for the formation of hierarchical structures.

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.
