The realm of micro and nanomanufacturing stands on the brink of a significant transformation, driven by advancements in nanofiber fabrication techniques. This talk explores the groundbreaking potential of precision near-field electrospinning (NFES) in revolutionizing the production and application of functional nanofibers. Traditional methods of nanofiber generation often struggle with controlling fiber morphology and alignment, critical for various applications. NFES emerges as a game-changing technology, offering unparalleled precision in these aspects. The talk delves into the fundamental principles of NFES, contrasting its capabilities with conventional methods, highlighting its ability to produce nanofibers with superior uniformity, controlled diameters, and precise alignment. These attributes enhance the functional properties of nanofibers, such as mechanical strength, electrical conductivity, and surface functionality. Real-world applications are showcased, demonstrating NFES's impact on fields like flexible electronics, sensors, and biomedical engineering. The challenges and future prospects of NFES, including scalability, integration, novel materials, and industry-scale production, are also discussed. |
