BioLim’s Hands on training on Electrospinning
for nanofibre production
Nanofibres
are nano range fibres which can be produced using a polymers or combination of
different polymers through specialised techniques. Nanofibres have wide range
applications from engineering to medicine. Among different techniques used to
produce nanofibres, Electrospinning is the most predominantly used
method.Electrospinning instrument helps to produce fibres with few nanometres
size, large surface areas, ease of functionalisation and superior mechanical
properties. Since the nanotechnology is being implemented in different areas of
science and technology sector, nanofibre is becoming one efficient product of
nanotechnology finding innumerable application perspectives day by day.
Nanofibres
produced through Electrospinning find more importance in the following areas
·
Nanofibres
are used widely biomedical applications such as tissue engineering, drug
delivery vehicle formulations etc.
·
Nanofibres
in medicine find application is special medical textiles including bandages,
wound dressing etc.
·
In
fermentation, bio and nano remediation part, nanofibre based enzyme
immobilization find more attraction.
·
Nanofibres
through electrospinning can be developed into nanofilter membranes for active
air filtration and water filtration.
·
Nanofibres
play role as protective materials too.
·
Nanofibres
also find usages in electrical, optical and sensor based applications widely.
Following
the wider and expanding application of nanofibres, the need for research and
production of different fibres using Electrospinning technique is becoming
vital. A very good understanding and operation skills in Electrospinning
equipment is the need of hour nanobio sector and this programme is exactly
aiming to provide the same.
