Electrospraying also known as an electrohydrodynamic atomization is a technique for atomizing liquids. The origin of electrospraying is on the base of the charged droplets theory which the interface of the droplets could be deformed by the applied electric field on a liquid droplet which egressing a capillary [1]. Electrospray is a well-known phenomenon which has different applications such as ...

Electro spraying is a method of liquid atomisation by electrical forces. Recently, the electrospraying entered in microfluidic devices and nanotechnology. Spraying solutions or suspensions allows production of fine particles, down to nanometer size, which can be used in industrial processes or for research purposes. It is a process when electrostatic forces are the only energy source leading to...

Kafirin-based fish oil nanocapsules were successfully obtained by using electrospraying technique. A kafirin isolate containing mostly ?-kafirins, but also ?- and ?-kafirins, was used as shell material. Electrospraying solutions with 10 wt% (20 respect to kafirin) led the production of (552 861 nm) when electrosprayed at 20–25 kV voltage flow rates ranging from 0.5 1 mL/h. Neither rate nor had ...

Abstract: In this paper, an electrospray technique followed by annealing at high temperatures was developed to produce nanocrystals of carbamazepine (CBZ), a poorly water-soluble drug, for continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Electrospraying solutions of CBZ in meth...

Bio-electrospray, the direct jet-based cell handling approach, is able to handle a wide range of cells (spanning immortalized, primary to stem cells). Studies at the genomic, genetic and the physiological levels have shown that, post-treatment, cellular integrity is unperturbed and a high percentage (more than 70%, compared with control) of cells remain viable. Although, these results are impre...

We describe the co-electrospraying of hollow microspheres from a polycaprolactone (PCL) shell solution and various core solutions including water, cyclohexane, poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), and polyethylene glycol (PEG), using different collectors. The morphologies of the resultant microspheres were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), confocal microscopy, and nano-X-ray computed ...

The ability to reproducibly load bioactive molecules into polymeric microspheres is a challenge. Traditional microsphere fabrication methods typically provide inhomogeneous release profiles and suffer from lack of batch to batch reproducibility, hindering their potential to up-scale and their translation to the clinic. This deficit in homogeneity is in part attributed to broad size distribution...

In this paper, an electrospray technique followed by annealing at high temperatures was developed to produce nanocrystals of carbamazepine (CBZ), a poorly water-soluble drug, for continuous pharmaceutical manufacturing process. Electrospraying solutions of CBZ in methanol obeys the expected scaling law of current, which is I ∼ Q(1/2) (I, electrical current; Q, flow rate), for liquids with suffi...

This work demonstrates a facile fabrication method to produce superhydrophobic coatings on chemically distinct materials using the electrospraying process. Coatings are mechanically robust, three-dimensional, and formed using a single fabrication step.
