Understanding Nanotechnology and Its Applications with EPCOTEC
What is Nanotechnology?
Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials on an atomic or molecular scale, especially to build microscopic devices or structures. At the heart of this field are nanofibers, which are incredibly fine fibers with diameters ranging from 20 to 500 nanometers (nm). These nanofibers can be composed of a wide variety of organic and inorganic polymers, making them versatile for numerous applications.
The Electrospinning Process
Electrospinning is a key manufacturing technique in nanotechnology. This electrostatically driven process allows for the production of nanofibers by applying a high-voltage electric field to a polymer solution or melt. The result is the formation of continuous, ultrafine fibers that can be used to create highly specialized materials with unique properties.
