Bio-Hybrid Casting / Coating Line

Capabilities

  • Hybrid casting / electrospinning / dip coating roll to roll system that can produce nanofiber embedded substrates and gels including transparent conductive films by embedding conductive nanowires using up to 9 spinsets in the cast solution / monomers and solidifies through evaporation and / or thermal / UV curing
  • Capable of making nanofiber nanomats with up to 9 different compositions and subsequently “ wet” functionalize using 6 dipping tanks that is particularly useful for biofunctionalization
  • Custom built film processing line
