Electrospinning is an emerging technology that produces polymer fibers with diameters ranging from the nano- to the microscale. Fabrics with complex shapes can be electrospun from solutions, producing a broad range of fiber and fabric properties. Electrospinning produces materials with high surface to weight and volume ratios, which makes these materials excellent candidates for controlled biological interactions and filtration media.
The porous nature of the fabric coupled with the ability to spin many types of polymers allows for the formation of implantable structures. Cells can use the electrospun fabric as a scaffolding to allow integration into the body; and when bioabsorbable materials are used, the scaffolding eventually is safely absorbed. Additives, ranging from therapeutic agents to property modifiers, can be introduced into the solutions and become incorporated into the fibers and fabrics. Zeus provides critical intellectual and physical resources essential to bring new technology to the market. Our Research & Development division focuses on quality prototype development, assembly solutions and analysis.
