NanoKTN Promotes New Developments In Electrospinning

Electrospinning is a fairly new technique used in the manufacture of continuous nanofibres in polymer, organic and inorganic materials, which opens new possibilities for developing materials for a wide range of markets. Uses range from regenerative medicine and energy storage to environmental remediation.

The event, which will present new developments in electrospinning, is a collaboration between the NanoKTN’s HiPerNano and NanoMiTE Special Interest Groups (SIGs) and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory.

Dr Martin Kemp, Theme Manager at the NanoKTN says, “With expert presentations and opportunities for networking, this workshop will bring together experts from different market sectors to explore the possibilities for developing new products and collaborations”

Presentations will be delivered by a number of industry experts, including Professor Tony Ryan, a leading expert in ‘soft’ nanotechnology at the University of Sheffield.

This workshop will be of interest to all those exploring new technological solutions in the fields of Medicine and healthcare (e.g. tissue engineering, wound treatment, cosmetics, medical devices), and Clean Tech (e.g. energy storage, water filtration).
