NovaSpider-3D Nanofiber Composites

NovaSpider is a scientific initiative to develop the best tools for manufacturing 3D nanocomposites with polymers. We provide state-of-the-art tools and process support. A multidisciplinary team of scientists and engineers at the vanguard nanoscience research centre CIC nanoGUNE has developed this protected technology. The equipment allows to create multi-phase 3D structures that can combine random nanofibers regions and aligned ultrathin fiber regions using electrospinning technique in addition to the use of the well-known Fuse Deposition Modelling technique. Electrospinning is an emerging fabrication technology that has attracted a lot of attention in recent years in fields ranging from medicine and tissue engineering to energy and environmental science due to the ease of producing well-defined fibrous woven or non-woven materials.
