Electrospinning: a fascinating fiber fabrication technique. (2010, background): “…(PVA) (Ding et al., 2002; Koski et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2004; Zhang et al., 2005b), poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) (Gupta et al., 2005), polystyrene (Jarusuwannapoom et al., 2005), poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) (Jun et al., 2003), gelatin (Ki et al., 2005) and dextran (Jiang et al., 2004a).”
Electrospun poly lactic acid (PLA) fibres: Effect of different solvent systems on fibre morphology and diameter (2014, background): “An increase in the polymer concentration results in more chain entanglements, an increase in the solution viscosity, hence an increase in the viscoelastic force which will counterbalance the Coulombic stretching force and therefore resulting in nanofibres with fewer beads [41,44].”
Experiments and modelling of electrospinning process (2005, unknown): “Key words: nanofibres, electrospinning, polymer fibres, electrified liquid jet.”
Functional electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds for biomedical applications. (2007, background): “Typical synthetic polymers used in biomedical applications are hydrophobic biodegradable polyesters, such as polyglycolide (PGA)[76,78,79], polylactide (PLA)[10,80–83] and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) [84–87], which have all been electrospun into nanofibrous scaffolds.”
