Forcespinning™ Technology

Forcespinning™ is an incredible new technology that will revolutionize the nanomaterials community right down to its terminology. Nanowires, nanofibers, and nanotubes no longer need to be delineated by the methods of their production. They can all be fabricated using Forcespinning™!

Originally developed as a solution to the tedious and unstable electrospinning process of fabricating polymeric nanofibers, Forcespinning™ is so thoroughly innovative that it can also process metals, ceramics, and conductive polymers in the nanoscale.

Forcespinning™ technology utilizes centrifugal force rather than electrostatic force! Without electrostatic force, an entire new realm of possibilities opens up. Metals and conductive polymers can be processed in high yields simply and safely.
Nanofibers vs. Hair
Forcespinning™ operates with very high performance in the melt and with substantially higher concentration levels in solution spinning driving yields that are up to eight times greater than anything ever seen before.

Proving that Forcespinning™ truly is The Force for Nanofibers!
