MIT engineers have developed a novel membrane-based method for separating crude oil components that could reduce the energy ...

Electrospun nanofiber membranes outperform traditional filtration materials due to their superior properties, such as: Uniform Pore Structure: Electrospinning allows precise control over pore size, ...

From white flour, researchers made starch-rich nanofibers that are about 370 ... Previous research has made electrospun mats from pure starch, but the process of extracting that starch from ...

we could define a new type of separation science to replace silica surfaces. Image Credit: S. Singha/Shutterstock.com We discovered that electrospinning produces nanofibers. These are long fibers ...

The idea was that if we could control carbon surfaces, we could define a new type of separation science to replace silica surfaces. We discovered that electrospinning produces nanofibers. These are ...

Conductive electrospun nanofibers provide high surface area electrodes, enabling both flexibility and performance improvements, including rapid charging and high energy storage capacities.

Q. Your primary focus concerns the use of novel micro- and nanofibres in sample preparation prior to separation via chromatography—what specifically attracted you to this area of research? A: My ...

The attractive characteristics of nanofibers have meant that their use has been applied to various fields, including drug delivery, filtration, food science, and wound healing. Electrospun nanofibers ...

The incorporation of UHMWPEO significantly improves the electrospinnability of solution and thermo-stability of nanofibers. Also, it is found that there is good miscibility or no phase separation ...

Most contemporary air filters are composed of electrostatically charged silica glass microfibers, but the next generation of air filters will likely feature the inclusion of electrospun nanofibers ...
