A Fundamental Study of Charge Effects on Melt Electrowritten Polymer Fibers

Melt electrowriting (MEW) is an electrohydrodynamics (EHD)-based additive manufacturing paradigm for printing microscale fibers. Although models for charge transport during EHD printing have been described, significant challenges arise from the in-process charge dynamics in MEW process, which limits...
