Electrospinning

The interest in nanofibers has increased drastically over the past years. Due to their extremely high surface to weight ratio, nanofibers exhibit special properties that have opened up a wide range of potential applications. One of the most promising techniques to manufacture nanofibers is the process of electrospinning.

Nanofibers can for example be used in air and water filtration, medical applications like drug delivery, tissue engineering and wound dressing, protective materials like sound absorption and chemical resistant fabrics, functional textiles, cosmetics, energy conversion and storage applications like solar cells and battery membranes, but also in nanoelectronics, semiconductor and food applications.

Producing nanofibers via electrospinning is a technique known for almost a century now. Despite this long history, there are still numerous challenges remaining in the development of stable, reproducible electrospinning techniques and functional nanofiber applications. Hence, there is an increasing need for versatile, efficient and state-of-the-art electrospinning research tools. IME Technologies aims to fulfill this need by providing unique, reliable, and user-friendly electrospinning R&D equipment.
