An alternative solvent system for the steady state electrospinning of polycaprolactone (2011, background): “Also the broadenin g of the fibre diameter distribution with a decrease in conductivity is in line with previous i nvestigations on other polymers [41,43] and is likely caused by the more inhomogeneous charge d istribution in solvents with low conductivity such as acetic acid.”
Electrospinning of nanofibers and their applications for energy devices (2015, background): “A high charge densitymay lead to the electrospinning jet undergoing secondary bending instabilities, which contributes to the formation of fibers with smaller diameter [40, 41].”
Preparations, properties and applications of chitosan based nanofibers fabricated by electrospinning (2011, neutral): “To overcome this defect, salts [22], ionic surfactants [23] or ionic polyelectrolytes [24] can be added into the polymer solution to improve the net charge density that enhances the whipping instability.”
Structural and Morphological Characterization of Micro and Nanofibers Produced by Electrospinning and Solution Blow Spinning: A Comparative Study (2013, background): “Since the 1990s there has been an increasing interest in methods of fiber production such as electrospinning [7–9], which can consistently produce submicron and nanometric fibers from a variety of polymers, including PLA, PCL, and PEO [1, 10–12].”
