The effect of different surfactants on the electrospinning poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers
Lin Jia,Xiaohong Qin +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, four different kinds of surfactants were added into 10 wt% polyvinyl alcohol/water solution and the effect of different surfactant types on the solution properties, the morphology of the resulting mat, the thermal performance, and the inner structure of nanofibers were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fibrous poly(chitosan-g-dl-lactic acid) scaffolds prepared via electro-wet-spinning
TL;DR: The data collected from in vitro rabbit-fibroblast/scaffold culture showed that there were no substantial differences in the viability, density and distribution of cultured fibroblasts between PCLA scaffolds and pure chitosan scaffolds.

Method for controlled electrospinning
TL;DR: In this paper, an electrospinning apparatus and methodology is described that produces medical devices such as scaffolds that induce the formation of a natural fibrous structure (primarily collagen and elastin) in a tissue-engineered medical device.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electrospun bilayer fibrous scaffolds for enhanced cell infiltration and vascularization in vivo
TL;DR: The fabricated bilayer fibrous scaffolds show more than two times higher cell infiltration than controls during implantation in vivo and the unique structure of the bilayer scaffolds promotes collagen fiber deposition, cell proliferation, and ingrowth of smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells in vivo.

Electrospinning process and applications of electrospun fibers
Jayesh Doshi,Darrell H. Reneker +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe the electrospinning process, the processing conditions, fiber morphology, and some possible uses of electrospun fibers, and describe the diameter of these fibers in the range of 0.05 to 5 microns.

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.
