EU RESEARCHERS DEVELOP ‘ELECTROSPINNING’ TECHNOLOGY TO CREATE LIGHT-EMITTING FIBRES
June 1st, 2016
The European Union (EU)-funded NANO-JETS project is developing a more efficient method to produce light-emitting fibres at the nanoscale using electrostatic spinning – or ‘electrospinning’ – technology. While the technology is still developing, these fibres could be used in sensors such as in ‘smart’ clothing that can react to the environment or wearable devices.
“Light-emitting fibres produced by electrospinning are potentially very interesting to be integrated in ‘smart’ clothes and in so-called wearable technologies,” noted Dario ...
