Progress in electrospun polymeric nanofibrous membranes for water treatment : fabrication, modification and applications (2017, background): “If the outer tube is filled with gas saturated with corresponding solvent of polymer solution, it can produce nanofibers with smooth surfaces [35].”
Co‐axial Electrospinning for Nanofiber Structures: Preparation and Applications (2008, background): “Since the stabilized compound Taylor cone and the initial jet are the requirements for the co‐axial electrospinning, high vapor pressure solvents may, also, not be used in the sheath solution as they may produce unstable Taylor cones 46 and lead to multiple jets due to fast evaporation.”
Biomimicry via Electrospinning (2012, background): “109 During the flight of charged droplets from the capillary tip to the collector, the microsized droplet is distorted and expanded into a thin film due to the various forces such as the electrostatic force, the air resistance, the gravity, the Coulombic repulsion, the surface tension and the vis”
A review on electrospinning design and nanofibre assemblies (2006, background): “This set-up has the added advantage of controlling the morphology from smooth fibres to beaded fibres or particles without the need to vary the applied voltage (Larsen et al 2004).”
