Transient charge-masking effect of applied voltage on electrospinning of pure chitosan nanofibers from aqueous solutions

The processing of a polyelectrolyte (whose functionality is derived from its ionized functional groups) into a nanofiber may improve its functionality and yield multiple functionalities. However, the electrospinning of nanofibers from polyelectrolytes is imperfect because polyelectrolytes differ con...
