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 ...

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A recent article in the Journal of Applied Polymer Science describes the development of a new double-layered fiber dressing for wounds. The researchers used electrospinning to create the dressing, ...
