Deliver dna to cells like thin needles
nanofibers can help induce neurons to reconnect and restore vision in the process, at least in hamsters (also repair damaged brain connections)
Nordson has developed patented technology for the use of polymeric nanofibers in nonwoven fabrics. In this capacity, nanofiber technology has been researched as a novel scaffold for cell growth and also offers unique capabilities to control pore size. Future biomedical applications may include artificial organs, tissue engineering, blood vessels, drug delivery systems and wound dressing. Nordson's nanophase system can spray up to five meters. Applications include clean room filtration, medical/surgical masks with low-pressure drops, gowns, drapes, wraps, and other products with superior barrier properties.
The self-healing fibers are primarily fluid-filled hollow capillaries that contain a bonding agent that, when released, slow or prevent the spread of a crack through the concrete matrix. Self-healing fibers have also been proposed as a strategy for addressing debonding events between the concrete matrix and reinforcing bars.
