Effects of non-linear rheology on the electrospinning process: a model study
arXiv:1405.6075 · doi:10.1016/j.mechrescom.2014.07.003
Abstract
We develop an analytical bead-spring model to investigate the role of non-linear rheology on the dynamics of electrified jets in the early stage of the electrospinning process. Qualitative arguments, parameter studies as well as numerical simulations, show that the elongation of the charged jet filament is significantly reduced in the presence of a non-zero yield stress. This may have beneficial implications for the optimal design of future electrospinning experiments.
