Electrospinning is a process in which polymer solutions are sprayed and stretched using a static electric field to create nanoscale fibers. The fibers typically have diameters ranging from ...

In the biomaterials industry, electrospinning is a ubiquitous fabrication method used to produce nano- to microscale fibrous meshes that closely resemble native tissue architecture. Alas, the process ...

Electrospinning operates on a straightforward principle involving a high-voltage electric field applied between a droplet of polymer solution (or melt) held by a syringe and a grounded collector. The ...

Ever-increasing worldwide concerns surrounding levels of plastic waste alongside water and air pollution have driven the search for viable, sustainable solutions. Emerging as a potential resolution, ...

The new process, called gel electrospinning, is described in a paper by MIT professor of chemical engineering Gregory Rutledge and postdoc Jay Park. The paper appears online and will be published in ...

The most widely used and researched method of fabricating nanofibers is electrospinning (ES), due to its high efficiency, adaptability and cost-effectiveness. Nanofibers are fibrous structures with ...

Researchers in the US have developed a portable electrospinning device that can manufacture a bandage and apply it directly to a wound. The technology, devised by a group at Montana Technological ...
