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 ...

Electrospraying and electrospinning have been used for a wide range of applications ranging from coatings, propulsion, and pesticide sprays to scaffolding a wide range of advanced materials for ...

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 ...

No, you can't eat the world's thinnest spaghetti. It's 200 times thinner than a human hair, which means you'd have a hard time spotting it on a plate and an even harder time cooking it. So why make it ...

Controlled drug delivery to the body can be achieved using dressings made of electrospun mats, composed of polymer fibers combined with a suitable therapeutic agent. The inset shows a microscopic ...

Green manufacturing is becoming an increasingly critical process across industries, propelled by a growing awareness of the negative environmental and health impacts associated with traditional ...
