Using advanced electrospinning techniques, we create nanofibers with precisely controlled diameter, morphology, and surface chemistry. The 1,500 square foot laboratory facility houses multiple electrospinning units capable of producing aligned, random, and core-shell fiber architectures.
Our electrospinning research has produced breakthrough nanofiber technologies with applications ranging from spacecraft air filtration to controlled drug delivery systems. These ultra-fine fibers, 1000 times thinner than human hair, offer unprecedented surface area and functionality.
Our comprehensive approach to this project encompassed multiple phases of development, testing, and implementation:
Technologies developed have been incorporated into NASA's next-generation space suits and life support systems. Medical applications include FDA-cleared wound dressings with 99.9% bacterial reduction and drug delivery patches with 30-day controlled release. Over 20 patents have been filed, with licensing agreements generating significant revenue.
