Abstract

Measurement of elongational stresses, stereographic images of jet paths, innovative collection of fluid jets, and utilization of elongational flow for assembly or disassembly of particulate structures, the electron microscopic views inside nanofibers, and the morphological and crystallographic changes that occur during heating of the metastable electrospun fibers illuminate the growing versatility of the electrospinning process.
