Experimental methods in chemical engineering: Electrospinning
Abstract Electrospinning produces micro‐ and nanofibres by forcing a polymeric solution through a fine needle in an electric field that produces a filament that accumulates onto a collector plate. The fibre morphology depends on solution properties, distance between needle and plate, feed rate, and electric field intensity.

Aloe Vera Rind Nanofibers: Effect of Isolation Process on the Tensile Properties of Nanofibre Films
The effect of different physico-chemical treatments used in the isolation process of aloe vera (AV) rind nanofibers on the tensile properties of the nanofiber films were studied to understand the root of the low strength values of these films.

An atomic interface between microwave and optical photons
A complete physical approach to quantum information requires a robust interface among flying qubits, long-lifetime memory and computational qubits. Here we present a unified interface for microwave and optical photons, potentially connecting engineerable

Nanostructured optical nanofibres for atom trapping
We propose an optical dipole trap for cold, neutral atoms based on the electric field produced from the evanescent fields in a hollow, rectangular slot cut through an optical nanofibre.

Study of the reusability and stability of nylon nanofibres as an antibody immobilisation surface
In the case of a biological threat, early, rapid, and specific detection is critical. In addition, ease of handling, use in the field, and low-cost production are important considerations. Immunological devices are able to respond to these needs.

Incorporation of osteoblasts (MG63) into 3D nanofibre matrices by simultaneous electrospinning and spraying in bone tissue engineering [PDF]
Nanofibre scaffolds are suitable tools for bone tissue engineering. Mimicking the extracellular matrix, they allow for cell growth and differentiation. However, in large 3D scaffolds, uniform cell colonisation presents an unsolved problem. Our aim was to
