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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
