The surface energy control capability of electrohydrodynamic force provides electrospraying with various potential advantages such as simple particle size control, mono-dispersity, high recovery, and mild processing conditions. Herein, the one step nano-encapsulation of protein drugs using electrospraying was developed. The major processing parameters such as the conductivity of spraying liquids, flow rate, the distance between electric potentials, etc were examined to obtain the maximum efficiency. The recovery of particles was found relatively high as could be conjectured based on the principle of electrospraying. When organic solvents were employed, the processing windows of electrospraying were relatively narrow than water systems. Efficient nano-encapsulation of BSA with polymers was conveniently achieved using electrospraying at above 12 kV.

Recently, there has been demand for polymeric porous membranes in various fields, such as environmental engineering, pharmaceutics, tissue engineering, drug delivery, biology, and fuel cells. In this study, it is proposed that a polymer particle-based porous membrane can be fabricated using electrospraying and sintering processes. Electrospraying can fabricate polymeric particles with diameters ranging from several micrometers to tens of nanometers without the cumbersome particle aggregation problem. Additionally, the particles can be sintered through thermo-compression under the glass transition temperature. In this study, a polymethyl methacrylate particle-based porous membrane with an average pore size of less than 500 nm is fabricated using the proposed method.

전기분무에서의 전기유체 역학적 힘에 의한 표면 에너지의 조절은 간단한 입자 크기 조절, 단분산성, 높은 회수율, 그리고 약한 가공조건과 같은 이점을 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 이점은 단백질 약물전달체 제조에 적절할 것으로 예상되어, 본 연구에서 전기분무법을 이용하여 단백질 약물의 나노포집을 시도하였다. 모델 단백질인 알부민을 단축 혹은 동축 전기분무로 가공하였고 키토산, 폴리카플로락톤(PCL), 폴리 (에틸렌 글리콜) (PEG) 등이 포집물질로 사용되었다. 효율을 최대로 높이기 위해 분무액의 전기전도도, 유속, 전기포텐셜 구배의 거리 등과 같은 가공변수들이 조사되었다. 키토산 시스템에서 입자크기에 대한 공정 변수의 영향은 유속이 늦어질수록, 노즐과 집적부 사이의 거리가 가까울수록 입자 크기가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. PCL 시스템에서는 단축 전기분무의 경우 유속이 늦어질수록, 동축 전기분무의 경우 내부와 외부 물질의 유속비가 클수록 입자 크기가 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전기분무 노즐에서 생성된 초기 입자들은 좁은 입자 크기 분포를 보였으나, 그것들이 집적부에 도달했을 때 입자들이 응집되는 경향이 있었다. 이러한 전기분무법에서 PCL, PEG, 키토산을 사용한 알부민의 효과적인 나노 포집은 12 kV 이상에서 성공적으로 이루어졌다.

고분자 용액의 전기분무에서 금속 샘플 포집기들은 분무된 입자로부터 흔히 용매를 충분히 제거하거나 재분산이 가능한 분무 입자를 회수하는데 효과적이지 못하다. 단백질 약물의 캡슐화(encapsulation)를 위해 본 연구에서는 입자를 분산매(응고액제)의 층류 안으로 분무하는 새로운 전기분무시스템을 설계하였다. 캡슐화용 물질로 키토산과 폴리아크릴산이 사용되었다. 이 새로운 시스템을 사용하여 입자의 응집을 방지할 수 있었으며, 4~16 kV의 전압과 같은 유속에서 unimodal한 입도분포를 관찰할 수 있었다. 반면에 가한 전압이 평균 입자 크기에 미치는 영향은 크지 않았다.

The mode change from Taylor cone-jet to dripping in electrospraying has been analytically investigated. The change has been predicted by the dynamic behavior of a liquid drop at the tip of the cone-jet. Conservation laws are applied to determine the upward motion of the drop, and an instability model of electrified jets is used to determine the jet breakup. Finally, for the first time, the analysis enables prediction of the transition in terms of the Weber number and electric Bond number. The predictions are in good agreement with experimental data.

The present study suggests a novel method to produce raspberry-like microparticles containing diverse functional materials inside. The raspberry-like microparticles were produced from a random assembly of uniformly-sized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles via electrospraying. The solution containing the PMMA nanoparticles were supplied through the inner nozzle and compressed air was emitted through the outer nozzle. The air supply helped fast evaporation of acetone, so it enabled copious amount of microparticles as dry powder. The microparticles were highly porous both on the surface and interiors, hence various materials with a function of UV-blocking ($TiO_2$ nanoparticles and methoxyphenyl triazine) or anti-aging (ethyl(4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxyamido) benzoate)) were loaded in large amount (17 wt % versus PMMA). The surface and interior structures of the microparticles were dependent on the characteristics of functional materials. The results clearly suggest that the process to prepare the raspberry-like microparticles can be an excellent approach to generate functional microstructures.

Oil spill and oily wastewater have now become a serious threat to the freshwater and marine environments. Porous materials with super-hydrophobicity and super-oleophilicity are good candidates for the oil adsorption and oil/water separation. Here, flexible hybrid nanofibrous membrane (FHNM) containing $SiO_2$/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microspheres was prepared by simultaneous electrospinning and electrospraying. The obtained FHNM combined the flexibility of the nanofiber mat and super-hydrophobicity of the microspheres, which could not be achieved by either only electrospinning or only electrospraying. It was found that when the weight ratio between the $SiO_2$ and PVDF reached a critical value, the $SiO_2$ nanoparticles were present on the PVDF microsphere surface, significantly improving the surface roughness and hence the contact angle of the FHNM. Compared with the pure electrospun PVDF nanofiber mat, most of the FHNMs have a higher oil adsorption capacity. The FHNM could separate the oil with water quickly under the gravity and displayed a high efficiency and good reusability for the oil/water separation. More importantly, the FHNM could not only separate the oil with the pure water but also the corrosive solution including the salt, acid and alkali solution.

Spray combustion characteristics of the conducting fuel electrospray has been studied for clean combustion technology. The electrospraying multiplexed system which can maintain the characteristics of the cone-jet mode is able to obtain charged micro droplets with high flow rate. In addition, they have monodisperse distribution during operating the electrospray in the cone-jet mode. The multiplexed grooved nozzle system with the extractor was applied to this experimental device set up. The stable grooved mode can be generated by the grooved nozzle and this electrospray system was applied to the diffusion combustion. It is the first step to discover the diffusion combustion characteristics of the electrospray, In case of the single grooved nozzle electrospray the diffusion flames are occurred at each Jet of grooved mode and they are quite stable. The exhaust gas analysis was indicated that there is the critical point which can make very stable diffusion combustion
