title: Jet break-up in nano-suspensions during electrohydrodynamic atomization in the stable cone-jet mode.
abstract: This paper reports jet break-up phenomena, which occurs during the electrohydrodynamic atomization (EHDA) of nano-suspensions. We investigated three ethylene glycol-based near-monodisperse suspensions, containing 30 wt% of SiO2 particles sized at 20, 80 and 120 nm. These suspensions were subjected to electrohydrodynamic atomization in the stable cone-jet mode and the jet break-up in each is discussed and compared with those of liquids reported in the literature.
