New Technique Scales Up Nanofiber Production

Aug. 2011- A new spin on an old technology will give scientists and manufacturers the ability to significantly increase their production of nanofibers, according to researchers at North Carolina State University. Collections of nanofibers, because they are porous and lightweight, are useful in applications ranging from water filtration to tissue regeneration to energy storage. Although nanofibers are ...

Controlled Nanomanufacturing of Magnetic Composite Nanofibers

Jan. 2009- Santala, et.al., report a versatile method for preparing magnetic and photocatalytic nanofibers by combining electrospinning and atomic layer deposition (ALD) to control both the materials composition of the nanofiber and the specific structure and dimensions of the resulting fibers.  

Nanofibers

Jan. 2009- Written by Fred Lybrand, Elmarco, Inc.   Introduction Informal nonwovens, textile, and other engineered fibers industries will often accept the term nanofibers to describe fibers with any diameter size smaller than 1,000 nm or 1 µm. 

BioMimic Fabrication of Electrospun Nanofibers with High-throughput

Sep. 2008- He et al., reported on a novel means to reduce surface tension by electrospinning from the wall of a bubble as opposed to a droplet.
