Description:
eSpin Technologies is at the forefront of nanotechnological materials development and is one of the first commercial producers of nanofibers today. Using a proprietary process, eSpin is able to produce minute fibers which are 10 to 100 times smaller in diameter than what is possible with conventional textile technology. For comparison, eSpin nanofibers are about 1000 times smaller than a human hair.
The company offers custom-made non-woven membranes, whiskers, and 3-dimensional structures of nanofibers. These fibers can be made from a variety of organic (nylon, polyester, polyaramid, acrylic, etc) or biological polymers (protein, collagen, etc). Potential applications include the use of nanofibers in filtration products, high performance structures, barrier fabrics, and biomedical devices. eSpin's activated carbon nanofibers are being used for end-uses such as thermal insulation, energy storage devices and lightweight structural composites.
Nanofiber membranes are a paper-like thin product made up of randomly laid nanofibers. Some of the important membrane characteristics are: high porosity, large pore volume, high moisture vapor transport, small fiber diameter, high surface area, high absorbency, and the ability to possess large numbers of chemically functional groups. |
