The key to spider silk 'spinning' is a combination of acidification ... What does it take to make this liquid phase into the silk fibers we know so well? The key was pH. As the team lowered ...

It uses a syringe to heat up a gelatin mixture and extrude it through a nozzle, with rollers stretching the liquid into long, thin fibers, much like a spider spinning web. Designers can even add ...

These "liquid core fibers" contain drugs inside and can be processed ... Active ingredients that are insensitive to high temperatures during melt spinning can be integrated directly into the core of ...

A decisive factor that turns a conventional textile fiber into a medical product ... produced PCL fibers with a continuous liquid core by means of melt spinning. In initial lab tests, stable ...

The new facility enables research into new spinning processes, fiber functionalization and sustainable fibers made from biodegradable and bio-based polymers. In the field of melt spinning ...

The result is the drug-loaded "liquid-core fibers" (LiCoFs). The hollow fibers are manufactured in a process known as melt spinning, and are composed of a biocompatible, biodegradable polymer ...
