Nanofibers were first produced via electrospinning more than four centuries ago. [28] [29] Beginning with the development of the electrospinning method, English physicist William Gilbert (1544-1603) first documented the electrostatic attraction between liquids by preparing an experiment in which he observed a spherical water drop on a dry surface warp into a cone shape when it was held below ...
Polymer nanostructured fibers, core–shell fibers, hollow fibers, and nanorods and nanotubes provide a platform for a broad range of applications both in material science as well as in life science. Biological objects of different complexity and synthetic objects carrying specific functions can be incorporated into such nanostructured polymer ...
Nanofabrics research is an interdisciplinary effort involving bioengineering, [5] molecular chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, computer science, and systems engineering. [3] Applications of nanofabrics have the potential to revolutionize textile manufacturing [6] and areas of medicine such as drug delivery and tissue engineering. [7]
Nanocomposite is a multiphase solid material where one of the phases has one, two or three dimensions of less than 100 nanometers (nm) or structures having nano-scale repeat distances between the different phases that make up the material.
Nanomaterials research takes a materials science-based approach to nanotechnology, leveraging advances in materials metrology and synthesis which have been developed in support of microfabrication research. Materials with structure at the nanoscale often have unique optical, electronic, thermo-physical or mechanical properties.
Nanofibers are key to the story and outcome of '3 Body Problem,' Netflix's major new sci-fi series. ... Almost all of the science presented is based, one way or another, in facts or theory ...
[1] [2] These nanofibers have been shown to detect various gaseous chemicals, such as hydrogen chloride (HCl), ammonia (NH 3), Hydrazine (N 2 H 4), chloroform (CHCl 3), and methanol (CH 3 OH). [1] PANI nanofibers can be further fined-tuned by doping and modifying the polymer chain conformation, among other methods, to increase selectivity to ...
In the early 1990s several research groups (notably that of Reneker and Rutledge who popularised the name electrospinning for the process) [55] demonstrated that many organic polymers could be electrospun into nanofibers. Between 1996 and 2003 the interest in electrospinning underwent an explosive growth, with the number of publications and ...
