The Tech Inc. Electrospinning Nanofiber Membrane Production System is an advanced nanofiber fabrication platform engineered for membrane research, tissue engineering, filtration media development, and industrial nanofiber applications. Designed in Vaughan, Canada and manufactured in Chennai, India. Tech Inc. is a Saudi Aramco approved vendor.
Overview
Electrospinning uses high voltage electric fields to produce continuous nanofiber membranes from polymer solutions. A polymer solution is pumped through a spinneret while high voltage (5-50 kV) is applied between the spinneret and a grounded collector. The electric field forms a Taylor cone at the needle tip from which a charged polymer jet is ejected. The resulting fibers are in the nanometer range (50-500 nm), creating membranes with extremely high porosity (up to 90%), very high surface-area-to-volume ratio, and tunable fiber morphology.
