Solvent–polymer interactions critically influence not only the viscoelasticity and the critical
minimum solution concentration required for electrospinning but also the diameter …

Over the past two decades, electrospinning has emerged as an enabling nanotechnology to
produce nanofiber materials for various biomedical applications. In particular …

A new route consisting of simultaneous centrifugal spinning and solution blowing to form
polymer nanofibers is reported. The fiber diameter (60–1000 nm) is shown to be a function …

The application of polymer fibers has rocketed to unimaginable heights in recent years and
occupies every corner of our day-to-day life, from knitted protective textile clothes to buzzing …

Electrospinning technology has garnered wide attention over the past few decades in
various biomedical applications including drug delivery, cell therapy, and tissue …

In this work we show that sonication alone can be used to scission bulk electrospun
membranes into short fibres. The mechanism of such scission events is bubble cavitation …

High strain rate extensional flow of a semidilute polymer solution can result in fragmentation
caused by polymer entanglement loss, evidenced by appearance of short nanofibers during …

Discussing the electrospinning process, the book covers in great depth the current research
interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology, especially electrospinning of polymer …
