Abstract

Electrospinning is emerging as a simple means of producing fibers with diameters ranging from 0.02 μm to many microns. Electrospinning, however, relies on the force generated by an electric field on the surface of a polymer solution to either enhance instabilities in a thinning jet or to rapidly elongate a jet of polymer solution form a nozzle. In this article, the fundamental physics and fluid dynamics on the subject matter are described, and some of the relevant parameters in electro-dynamic instabilities at polymer interfaces are discussed in some detail.
