Polymers dissolved in volatile solvents can be directed to self-assemble into suspended nanofiber bridges through surface tension driven capillary thinning. This points towards a single step approach to forming suspended 3D structures in a considerably more simple way than by standard microfabrication processes. Fibers form when the polymer liquid is brushed by hand over a corrugated surface,...

Elecotrospun nanofibers, with fiber diameters of 0.25 microns have been used in industrial, consumer and defense filtration applications for more than twenty years. Electrospun nanofibers have fiber diameters that are 5-10 times smaller than the smallest meltblown fibers available...

Introduction The recent emergence of nanotechnology in the marketplace has raised global concerns among scientists, researchers, regulatory agencies, consumers and the general public, regarding its safety. It is expected that nanotechnology will have a major...

Today there is a paradigm shift in the textile industry. The consumer drives this shift .A consumer today has access to the best of products at the most economical price while he is sitting on his cozy couch and surfing the net...

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), India would have around 57 million diabetic patients by the year 2025. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Diabetics has received a great deal of attention in the novel drug delivery technologies...

Plasma technology is a surface-sensitive method that allows selective modification in the nm-range. By introducing energy into a gas, quasi-neutral plasma can be generated consisting of neutral particles, electrically charged particles and highly reactive radicals...
