Electrohydrodynamic Atomization (EHDA), also referred to as the electrospray process, has been recently developed to fabricate polymeric micro- or nano-particles as well as fibers for drug encapsulation. EHDA in the cone-jet mode can produce highly monodisperse aerosols. As a result of strong electr...
