Enhanced Wetting Behavior at Electrospun Polyamide Nanofiber Surfaces.
The surface properties of electrospun polymer fibres, critical in major tissue engineering and filtration electrospinning applications, were shown to differ from bulk behaviour. The paper led to grants on ‘Controlling surface properties of electrospun fibres for protective clothing and light weight respiratory masks’ (Contract no: 20575) from the Centre for Defence Enterprise/DSTL and ‘Electrospinning for liquid control surfaces and understanding of liquid surfaces interactions’ (Contract no: DSTLX-1000072482) of ~£118k from DSTL. The paper also led to a keynote lecture at a NanoKTN conference (2011) and an invited talk at the primary international electrospinning conference Electrospinning: Principles, Possibilities and Practice (2012).
