Our Research Mission
The Polymer Nanofiber Engineering and Applications Laboratory is focused on innovation and discovery in the areas of materials science and tissue engineering and education and training for future researchers. Our broad goal is to engineer high performance polymer nanofibers through new nanofabrication and materials processing technologies. We have specific interest in understanding the mechanisms governing the process/structure/property relationships associated with post-drawing polymer fibers in the nanoscale. In order to facilitate translation of our research findings, we concentrate on studying continuous manufacturing systems that are suitable for commercial scalability. In addition to individual fiber properties, the laboratory investigates additive manufacturing approaches as a means to assemble higher order nanofiber structures and composites that can be used in applications as diverse as medicine and defense.
