Possible to make an aligned sheet!! Drum collector.

By setting a 200mm-wide and 200mm-diameter drum collector for high speed rotation, we electrospun aligned nanofiber sheets like this video.Aligned nanofibers are spun with the fibers aligned in a certain direction, and it will be a sheet with metalli≫ more

Joining the Society of Fiber Science and Technology

It’s been a long time since we joined the Society of Fiber Science and Technology last time. This time the exhibition is held at Tower Hall Funabori in Edogawa, Tokyo. Two new members of the staff are doing their best while being tenderly watched by ≫ more

Spinning Gelatin!

We electrospun Gelatin (derived from pig) into nanofiber sheets. Gelatin has biodegradability and biocompatibility, and is used for a variety of  medical field such as cell culture medium, wound dressing material, and wound healing.

Electrospinning Method

Major features of the electrospinning method is to spin a variety of materials (mainly polymers) into nanofiber shapes and control of fiber shapes is relatively easy. Research up to now realized electrospinning of the following materials. (See Fig.1)≫ more
