NEWS & UPDATES
NEW Electrospinning Video!
In Episode 3, it’s all about the Taylor cone; a fundamental concept in the world of electrospinning, whose formation and control open the door to a myriad of possibilities in scientific and industrial fields. Through a variety of examples of real-world electrospinning processes and animations that will help you zoom in on the electrostatic interactions that define the Taylor cone.
Dr. Hannah Lacy breaks down what the Taylor cone is, how it takes shape, and why it is important for producing nanofibers with your desired physical, mechanical, and chemical properties.
