Background: <strong>Electrospinning</strong><br />
Underlying theory based on<br />
“electrohydrodynamics” (Taylor & Melcher, 1966)<br />
In 2001, Hohman et al. predict 3 modes that<br />
apply to electrospinning/electrospraying:<br />
Rayleigh mode<br />
Dominated by surface tension effects<br />
Applies when low/no electric field<br />
Axisymmetrical conducting mode<br />
Whipping conducting mode<br />
Dominate due to<br />
surface charge effects<br />
at high field strengths
