Developments In Electrohydrodynamic Forming: Fabricating Nanomaterials From Charged Liquids Via Electrospinnning & Electrospraying

Although centuries old, electrospinning stands out as one of the most useful and flexible techniques for producing nanomaterials. Parallel to the burst of enthusiasm in nanomaterials in recent years, interest in electrospinning has surged exponentially over the past decade as theoretical advances in ceramics & other materials components have grown. As a result of improvements in electrospinning modelling, processing, measuring & testing, new applications are emerging that range from health care to high-temperature and high-pressure filtration, as well as new routes to explore and control crystal growth. This article, from researchers at the University of Florida, describe the history of, and current trends in electrospun materials.
